Insufficient housing land provided, more Green Belt release required, or at least provide safeguarded sites.
Too many large sites in too few areas have been proposed, contrary to Government's commitment to delivery across range of site sizes.
Will result in disproportionate pressure on services and facilites, and community cohesion.
Better to distribute housing across Borough, particularly close to public transport.
Many proposed sites will result in displacement of community facilities, e.g sport pitches. VSC for outdoor sport and recreation in Green Belt would be difficult to prove if alternative GB sites available that do not require loss of such facilities.

If housing development is to come to Knowle it should be spread out - site of the Knowle Football Club plus north of Dorridge near J4 of the M42.
We must spread the burden of housing across the area with significant development north of the Knowle, Dorridge, Bentley Heath area (gap between Knowle, Dorridge, Bentley Heath and Solihull). Most traffic will be heading to the motorway.

Difficult to assimilate new and existing communities at that scale.
Arden Academy has undergone a significant number of upgrades and extensions in recent years, which undermines need and cost justification of brand new secondary school.
Smaller-scaled development in Knowle/Dorridge could allow improvements at the school via CIL/S106s, and wouldn't require a rebuild.

The concentration of sites 4, 11, 12 and 13 are in such close proximity separated by only roadways or a narrow section of open space/Green Belt resulting in an undue degree of pressure on an already stretched local infrastructure, services and local environmental amenities in the area and on the A34 Corridor.
Risk of damaging community cohesion and the ability of the area to assimilate large additional settlement.
Site allocations should be reviewed and the overall numbers reduced. Allocation of smaller Green Belt sites across the Borough could reduce concentration of housing in this area.
Also opportunity for smaller builders.

Many of the proposed Housing Allocations on non-Green Belt sites in the urban area will result in the loss of existing employment, retail and community use land, sports and recreation facilities and open space. The housing estimates appear over optimistic in some cases and issues of viability remain to be proven.

I can't see how the scheme is supposed to work sustainably without understanding the plan for additional services and roads.
Herewith my thoughts concerning the local plan review, I send them by email because of the issues with the web portal.
1. The proposed developments on allocations 4, 11, 12, 13 are closely clustered. This will clearly impact road usage as well as require additional provision for schools, medical and other facilities. As a resident of Blackford road I am aware of the steady increase in traffic from the existing developments in and around Dickens Heath. It would appear that the highway usage and plan is a critical part of the proposal. Further, a lot of local traffic is caused by Dickens Heath pupils travelling by car to Alderbrook or other schools in Solihull. In summary, I can't see how the scheme is supposed to work sustainably without understanding the plan for additional services and roads.
2. The use of the 'TRW' site seems very logical. The land has limited recreational value and is clearly underutilised. Given the existing developments on the site it seems logical to extend the 3-4 storey buildings and provide housing local to the Shirley industrial area (including Cranmore) within walking distance.
3. Allocation 13 is the exact opposite and I oppose its use for housing. It is a valuable green space for recreation, nature and acting as a buffer between Dickens Heath and Shirley. Unless the previously planned 'Shirley Relief Road' is reinstated it is difficult to see it offering any improvement in the already busy traffic in the area. This allocation in particular would cause Shirley and Dickens Heath to merge into a mass of over-corded small local roads and housing.
4. A more general observation is that across Solihull there are a number of large ground level car parks. These don't strike me as a very efficient use of space, especially when they are near to shops/services or travel connections. Has adequate consideration been given to reviewing these for re-development and incorporation of housing?
5. Further to the point about local traffic above (1) I believe that additional provision will be required for car commuters to Solihull, the motorway network and to the rail network. The local railway station at Whitlocks End is already overloaded with cars. If more housing was within walking distance of this or other rail stations, it would relieve the pressure. The commute to the M42 in the morning is already difficult and I believe specific improvements are required to allow the traffic out of Shirley (to the motorway) to not be delayed by traffic coming in to the Cranmore businesses, as they currently do. Improvements to Dog Kennel Lane and the connecting roundabouts on the A34 and at Dickens Heath road could ease this. It would appear that this needs to be planned and enacted before the developments commence to minimise the impact and allow maximum flexibility in planning new roads/connections.
