Disappointed there is no mention of the need to consider the impact on emergency service infrastructure or of the need for increased Police infrastructure provision. The scale of development proposed will inevitably have implications for the maintenance of safety and security. There is likely to be a need for additional Police infrastructure.
Wording similar to that included in the Solihull Local Plan 2013 should be included in the table of allocated sites. For each of the allocated sites the wording should be as follows: '...Consider impact on social infrastructure provision, eg. Emergency
services and community facilities.'

Disappointed that reference to the West Midlands Police has been removed from the supporting text for Policy P21. The proposed supporting text in the Draft Local Plan Review does not include the Police within the list of those bodies the Council will be
working in partnership with. Whilst it is accepted partnership working is 'not
limited' to those listed, the Chief Constable formally requests that reference
continues to be made to the West Midlands Police in the supporting text for Policy
P21, similar to the wording in the adopted Local Plan.
