Local Plan entirely ignores the release of the Green Belt to support the delivery of essential supporting infrastructure in the form of a new southern Junction, delivered in conjunction with a MSA, as part of the Junction 6 improvements. This needs to be addressed and should be included as a guiding principle.

Support aspirations for growth at Blythe Valley Park.
Highways England have documented in their Holding Objection letter (24 November 2016) the many significant shortcomings in the consideration of the traffic implications for the M42 mainline and M42 slip roads resulting from a MSA located alongside this Junction.
Additional traffic using Junction 4 will significantly and detrimentally impact on access to Blythe Valley Business Park and other key economic assets located north of Junction 4 (towards Shirley) which require access via the A34 and Junction 4.

No mention of role and importance of Motorway Service Area in policies P7 and P8.
Whilst Paragraph 270 notes that significant unmet need remains, it is not clear that in previous appeals the the Secretary of State had concluded harm at Junction 4 exceeded the location close to Catherine de Barnes.
Paragraph 271 is a serious derogation of duty and conflicts with paragraphs 31 and 182 of NPPF.
Circular 02/2013 notes "the maximum distance between motorway service areas should be no more than 28 miles". Exceeded in Solihull and negative impact on highway safety.

Policy P17 - Paragraph 359 should include reference to delivery of supporting infrastructure for Junction 6 improvements.
Some 'joined up, positive planning' is required with regard to this part of the Green belt. The Local Plan should remove land required for the Junction 6 improvements and MSA from the Green Belt and allocate the site of the current application MSA application at Catherine de Barnes as suitable for a MSA and as the most appropriate and policy compliant location in which to meet a significant and growing road safety need.

Policy P20 - Provision of open space not always safe or feasible for commercial schemes, e.g. Motorway Service Area. Policy should be caveated to state 'where appropriate'.
