Q1. Do you agree that we've identified the right challenges facing the Borough? If not why not? Are there any additional challenges that should be addressed?

Needs a more joined-up approach. Plans should not look at development in isolation; the impact of growth and development on communities is a challenge.
Maintain the affordability of dwellings by designing them so that there is no scope to increase their size.
Support the need to maintain rural communities.
HS2 challenge (N)needs to be strengthened. Construction will impact on local communities.
A challenge for Meriden is the loss of key services and isolation from being between HS2 and the proposed garden city.
Need to prioritise senior population needs.
Objective to encourage sustainable travel, yet rural public transport provision is decreasing.

Q4. Do you agree with Policy P1? If not why not, and what alternative would you suggest?

Policy P1 - Central Hub Area. There is no mention of the effect of Brexit or US politics especially in relation to car development (JLR expansion)? If US decide to reduce imports of JLR, economic growth significantly affected including all service industries and airport, 'Arden Cross' and Birmingham Business Park. There is no agreed impact of HS2.
We agree with the challenges and objectives addressed by the policy on page 47.
When did Arden Cross become the name referenced for the new Garden Village? Who decided this. There will be confusion as lots of 'Ardens' already exist in the Borough

Policy 1A - Agree. You put Blythe Valley Business Park logically in the right place close to M42/M40 links; now housing being developed, it is good integration if community services are developed there too.

Relocation of the railway station is something that may not reach its desired potential. Government needs to invest in public transport. To attract people to the town centre there must be a means of travel from the rural area.
Car parking in the town centre needs to be improved. Station and some car parks are too far away. Suggest a park and ride that caters for residents not just visitors.
Providing attractive gateways and urban design could cripple small businesses as rents increase.

Q9. Do you agree with Policy P3? If not why not, and what alternative would you suggest?
Representation ID: 2266
Received: 17/02/2017
Respondent: Meriden Parish Council
Policy P3 - impact on local road infrastructure is under-estimated. Particularly HS2 interchange. Added pressure on development of M42 access i.e. former Clock Pub roundabout development. There is no mention of monitoring the number of lorry movements daily on infrastructure. Routing agreements and size of vehicles ought to be restricted on rural roads and residential areas.
More businesses create more road users, improvements in public transport are essential.
In rural areas, digital connectivity and high capacity communication networks are key. However, getting a mobile signal in rural areas is a challenge.
