Representation ID: 6085

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Tidbury Green Golf Club

Agent: Tyler Parkes Partnership Ltd

Representation Summary:

22% increase in dwellings in Knowle. Overconcentration of growth in rural village.
Will have significant and potentially unacceptable adverse impact on the existing community and infrastructure.
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.
