Our project lies within the Greenfield site of the Arden Triangle development and losing it would not only damage the 'Guiding Principle' relating to supporting developments which 'contribute to the health and Well-being of communities'; but also to the Guiding Principle stated in 'not in Support' where a development challenges 'the protecting, conserving, enhancing and restoring environmental assets' as our project has taken derelict and unused field and turned it into a community asset which would be destroyed if the development was to proceed as planned.

Site 9 objections:
Public knowledge that Arden Academy is seeking to relocate to a new complex called Arden Centre for Community Learning.
Assume that part of Site 9 has been assigned to this complex, as lower density proposed.
Concern that Complex already taken as a statement of fact. Much work still needs to be completed for inclusion in a planning application, and may not be built at all.
Unacceptable if gap between housing and new school site.
A singular access to site would be unacceptable.

Solihull GPs have also been consulted on the proposals and have raised concerns that the Solihull MIND facility may need to be closed due to local development plans on the land.
The Public Health Department fully supports the proposal to include HIAs in order to maximise positive impacts of the proposed development and minimise potential adverse impacts.
Solihull GPs have also been consulted on the proposals and have raised concerns that the Solihull MIND facility may need to be closed due to local development plans on the land.
Concerns have also been raised about the potential increased pressures on GP practices from house building in GP catchment areas. The document attached contains communication from local GPs on these 2 issues.

There is no provision for increased car parking in Knowle. 1050 new homes will surely lead to at least 1000 extra cars driving on local roads and needing to park near to local shops. Current parking arrangements are inadequate for today's needs, with inappropriate parking on pavements and grass verges, and this can only get worse. While bus services and cycle lanes are a good thing the reality is that the majority of journeys will be by car for the convenience, speed and ability to convey heavy shopping loads.

SHELAA states that site performs well against suitability, availability and achievability criteria.
Consider more evidence is required for latter two tests.
Availability: Not all landowners have been notified of proposal or confirmed their support.
Achievability: Access has been identified as an issue by promoters.
At KDBH Neighbourhood Form meeting on 07.12.16 Arden Academy stated that only 450 homes are needed to deliver a new school, but they do not control all of required land.
Do not consider medical centre off Station Road as suitable access to new school.
Seek clarification on funding sources.
Southern parts of site have low accessibility.
