Representation ID: 9613
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Worcestershire County Council
The Solihull Draft Local Plan sets out proposed development on the west of
Solihull covering the Dickens Heath and Shirley areas, which are referenced as
the Blythe Area and listed for future development as site 4 (West of Dickens
Heath - 350 dwellings), site 11 (The Green - 640 dwellings), site 12 (South of
Dog Kennel Lane - 1,000 dwellings) and site 26 (Whitlock's End - 300
dwellings). These sites are of particular interest to WCC's Children, Families and
Communities directorate due to the locality of the sites and the current and
potential migration of pupils between Worcestershire and Solihull.
Worcestershire County Council (WCC) welcomes the opportunity to comment on the above consultation, and provides the attached officer-only comments. We are currently seeking endorsement of these comments by WCC's Cabinet Member with responsibility for Economy and Infrastructure, and will provide confirmation of this endorsement as soon as possible.
