Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9140

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Dr Paul Rylah

Representation Summary:

The site is completely on the wrong side of the village. Most of the new residents will not be using public transport but their own cars. That is a simple reality of the demographics and the modern world we live in. And most will be commuting North through the village, to Solihull, Birmingham, the M42, the airport, HS2 stations etc in pursuit of work and shops. The proposed development is also way too large for the village to absorb. A far better site is the Solihull Gap bordering and south of the M42, whilst still maintaining the gap as well.
