Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9763
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: IM Land
Agent: Turley
Overall IM is in agreement with the infrastructure requirements set out within the consultation document; however they would suggest that more detailed consideration needs to be given to improving connectivity to and from the Town Centre as part of a wider strategic plan for investment to support economic growth within the Borough. In particular, detailed consideration should be given to improving connections between the Town Centre and the UK Central 'Hub', and the opportunity to reduce reliance on travel by car should be explored further to enable the opportunity for the redevelopment of existing car parks.
We write on behalf of our client, IM Properties Limited (hereafter referred to as 'IM'), in response to the Solihull Local Plan Review (SLPR) Draft Local Plan (DLP) Supplementary Consultation, which was published for consultation in January 2019.
IM Properties own and are actively promoting several sites and assets within the Borough, including Mell Square, Blythe Valley Park and Fore Business Park.
IM Land, the strategic land division of IM, also has existing and emerging land interests within the Borough; separate representations have been submitted
in relation to IM Land's interests.
