I am glad to see that the local plan recognises that Castle Bromwich has no further capacity for development without compromising the quality of the local environment and open spaces. The road infrastructure in Castle Bromwich should be re-looked at. There is a strong desire in the community for the section of Chester Road around Morrison's to be changed to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety

Poverty and Inequality should be the priorities to be tackled in these areas, particularly in the 3 regeneration Wards and pockets of Castle Bromwich. Life expectancy is 10 years less for someone born in Smith's Wood than in Knowle or Balsall Common.This needs to be tackled.
The North of Solihull (North of the A45) has areas which suffer from inadequate bus services. These affect connectivity to Solihull Town Centre, other parts of the Borough, plus Birmingham, and other out of Borough areas. This affects job prospects.
Green space enhancement is vital to this part of Solihull.

The botched changes to the Chester Road at Chelmunds Cross and Hurst Lane need an urgent review. Particularly in light of HS2 construction traffic that will use the A452/ Chester Rd.

Objection to development SHLAA site 3 Simon Digby
Existing traffic congestion particularly on Chester Road and a s a result of building on old Simon Digby School site and strain on public services
I am sending this email to oppose the Simon Digby fields proposed development.
Enough is Enough.
I live in Heath Green Close, and already have the motorway at the side of me and the proposed HS2 to run alongside me.
We had the houses built on the old Simon Digby School site that has caused nightmare parking opposite Heath Green Close. It is a danger every time you pull out, as you have to drive on opposite side of road, due to cars parked and taking up the rightful left hand side of which you should pull out.
Traffic is already horrendous at peak times along the Chester Road, and this will run alongside the proposed development.
Public services will have even more strain put on them, but of cause the people making these decisions will not be impacted because they are not the ones living in this area.
I am strongly apposed to this development, and when I speak to other people in the area I hear that they are of the same opinion as I.

Call for Sites reference 341 is designated as a Green Space Site within the Solihull Local Plan (December 2013) and within the Draft Local Plan Review Proposal Map (November 2016). However, land not secured through respective applications and transferred to private ownership. No mechanism to secure public access, and visual amenity value limited and will be constrained further if permission for Medical Centre granted. Loss of open space proposal would not adversely affect supply of open space and would be clearly outweighed by benefits of housing contributing to Borough need.
Please see attached document
Kier Living own the majority of 'Land at the Rear of 74 - 108 Coleshill Heath Road', as it is referred to within the Solihull Strategic Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment 2016 ("SHELAA")
(site ref. 193). This site has been promoted through the Call for Sites process (with a submission made in January 2018) and through the initial Regulation 18 consultation.

In part.
The Public Health approach to redeveloping Kingshurst Village Centre is to be commended. Similarly improving access to employment and public space enhancements are to be commended.
Sadly, there is limited space for development. This means that even small-scale developments will have the impact of creating tension.

Sadly, there is limited space for development. This means that even small-scale developments will have the impact of creating tension. Where possible, there are opportunities for regeneration, as demonstrated by Kingshurst Village. Any housing contributions are more likely to be addressed by a similar approach than by urban extension or windfall.

Public space enhancements in the North of the Borough.
While the availability of space is a major constraint, the high population density should justify a greater emphasis on the provision and maintenance of public space for recreation and amenity. A uniform standard should be applied across the Borough for defining requirements for public access and green space.
See attached letter. The Open Spaces Society is Britain's oldest national conservation body, founded in
1865. The Society's aim is to protect, increase, enhance and champion open spaces,
common land, village greens and public paths.
Consequently, sections 96 to 98 of the NPPF headed Open space and recreation are
seen of particular importance.
The questions addressed by the Society are those headed Do you agree with the
infrastructure requirements? for each area. These are Questions 3, 11, 16, 19, 22, 25, 29, and 31.
No equivalent question was asked about the UK Central Hub, so a comment has been made in response to Question 44.

The absence of positive references to the need to provide Police infrastructure undermines the delivery of safe and secure development. There should be express reference to the need for financial contributions towards additional expenditure burden placed on WM Police as a consequence of the proposed growth. Seek engagement in preparation of Concept Masterplans and policy implementation and delivery once Plan adopted.
We act for the Chief Constable of the West Midlands Police (CCWMP) and are instructed to make representations on local development documents in respect of securing policy reference in such documents

allocation within the Plan. The response is by question order. Whilst we have
responded to each question, the detailed points in relation to our site are set out under question 39 and your attention is specifically drawn to this part of the response. It should be noted the site is developer owned and delivery of the site can therefore come forward early in the plan period

Support desire to improve Chelmsley Wood and Kingshurst centres. There is wasted/disused space above shops and around Stephenson Drive in CWTC.
Agree need to improve access to public transport. Journey times to Birmingham/Solihull are very long.
Public realm improvements much needed in places, but should not be solely linked to further development. Need to invest in public spaces to increase active travel, cycling and walking, and recreation.
Further regeneration opportunities should not compromise existing open space such as playing pitches. Assessment of value of open spaces should include survey of use by residents as spaces are often popular and well-used.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Draft Local Plan. As Chelmsley Wood ward Councillors, we would like to comment on the proposals in Chelmsley Wood and North Solihull specifically

The area is built up enough as it is lack of school spaces and doctors availability is very limited already not to mention the lack of green space already in the area.
The area is built up enough as it is lack of school spaces and doctors availability is very limited already not to mention the lack of green space already in the area. The proposed plan and the amount of houses they want to build is ludicrous and then put a small junior football pitch that's really not going to be that beneficial to anybody. Then land is currently used by dog walkers, clubs, children and used by the cars area to hold activities such as Fundays and carboots which brings our community together.

Severn Trent Water response:
Results of our high level sewer capacity assessment highlights some possible risks - of the proposed development on the sewerage and surface water network.
For most developments we do not foresee any particular issues. Where we consider there may be an issue we would discuss in further detail with the Local Planning Authority. Once detailed developments and site specific locations are confirmed by local councils, we are able to provide more specific comments and modelling of the network if required. We will complete any necessary improvements to provide additional capacity once we have sufficient confidence that a development will go ahead.

The shops are mostly vacant and attract a lot of anti social behaviour new improved shops and nhs services would provide amenities that locals desperately need. New shops would also attract more people to go and use them and make residents of Kingshurst feel safer.
Kingshurst village centre is in dire need of being demolished. The shops are mostly vacant and attract a lot of anti social behaviour new improved shops and nhs services would provide amenities that locals desperately need. New shops would also attract more people to go and use them and make residents of Kingshurst feel safer. Providing new homes is also an excellent use of the space and the regeneration will make residents greatly happy.
