Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9020

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Dean Henry

Representation Summary:

We OBJECT to the development of Site 9, Land South of Knowle. The development falls within Green Belt. The existing road infrastructure is not able to support the additional traffic that will be generated from 600 houses (up to 1800 additional vehicles). Knowle High Street is already a bottleneck for traffic and for people travelling to Solihull for additional amenities, e.g. shopping and access to the M42 for access to Birmingham and the motorway network. Additional houses the wrong side of Knowle will increase the burden of traffic on Knowle High Street, particularly in rush hour periods and school runs.
