Question 31 - Infrastructure Requirements at North Solihull/Marston Green/Castle Bromwich

Jenson house site has bosworth field on it.

1. No space for kids to play
2. No room on estate for kids to play football
Due to heavy parking.
3. Schools already overcrowded
4. Doctors may not be able to cope with more patients.
5. Community groups use the field
6. No open spaces for healthy exercise.

??

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 be 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

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.

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. 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.

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.

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

This is the response of Generator Group and Minton to the supplementary
consultation by Solihull Council on the Solihull Draft Local Plan January 2019. The

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.

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.
