Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9086

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Dr Lucy Hillman

Representation Summary:

The proposal to build 600-1000 homes in the Knowle and Dorridge area will affect greatly the nature of the villages. The infrastructure is not there, extra traffic through Knowle high street will ruin the nature of historic Knowle, the roads are already very busy, the schools full, the GPs surgery unable to meet local demands already. The infrastructure is not there to support the proposal. The fact that green belt land is being used is alarming when there are other much better suited areas to take this development closer to Solihull where there is better and more infrastructure.
