Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9036

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Christopher McDermott

Representation Summary:

Infrastructure should include the requirement to provide new leisure facilities and to enhance existing sports facilities in the immediate area.
There is no mention of the need to expand rail capacity. Peak hour trains already leave people behind at Berkswell station, additional housing will make this problem worse and so it should be mandated that additional capacity is provided at peak times to and from Birmingham and Coventry. Furthermore the village centre cannot cope with additional traffic using Station Road and the shops.
