Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9114

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Hannah Ager

Representation Summary:

The proposed allocation of this site will be very detrimental to the village of Knowle. This is a valuable area of Green Belt that is cherished by the community. The roads around this area of Knowle are very congested and could not support the proposed number of new homes.
There are more sustainable sites closer to Dorridge or Widney Manor Railway Stations. Any allocation should not include the Warwick Road frontage, which provides the most valuable visual amenity and would also be dangerous to access. I strongly object to the allocation of this site and the densities of housing proposed.
