Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9051
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Charlotte Weston
A key infrastructure requirement not included is additional train capacity (specifically increased number of seats at peak times). Current trains running on the Whitlocks End to Snowhill line are already overcrowded and do not have sufficient capacity, with standing room only as they near Birmingham. This has got worse the last three years, and hundreds more homes around Dickens Heath would cause significant issues without additional carriages to increase capacity.
Additional parking in Dickens Heath must be included, as it is already an issue let alone with further developments.
