lack of meaningful engagement with the NF.
For example, there seems to have been little involvement in any of the studies or workshops associated with the Council's evidence base
- The NF has put in a lot of time and effort into trying to understand the issues and concerns that matter to local residents and businesses and trusts that the Council will take note of these and respond positively to this objection.
On behalf of the forum, I am submitting the attached document as the considered view of the Neighbourhood Forum members in response to the consultation to Solihull Council's Draft Local Plan. The response relates in particular to the implications for the KDBH area.
In order to capture and then reflect the views of forum members and residents, the forum has held three public meetings; in December 2016 and January and February of this year. Feedback has been gathered on each occasion and we have also invited and received comments via e-mail.
We also have a body of evidence that reflects residents' general views, concerns and aspirations for the area from the residents survey conducted in 2016.
In addition, we have reviewed the proposed housing allocations, for the KDBH area as outlined in the draft plan against the Council's published methodologies and evidence base to try to understand how they were determined.
We believe that the document is a balance and objective representation of the Forum member's views.
We have also encourage members to submit their own individual responses, following the instructions on your website. This should ensure that you have the full spectrum of views.
