Master plan approach is welcomed, but should be extended to all part of the
Borough. the master plans need to become more tightly defined during the further
development of the Local Plan. Should show how the policies elsewhere in the Local Plan are to be implemented in each specific site. Should be clear allocation and protection of areas for public access, should be secured in perpetuity by the dedication of the land as a Village Green, or by dedication of access rights under section 16 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. There is no mention in the Draft Plan of the designation of Local Green Space as set out in the NPPF para 99.
In terms of green belt enhancements Potential improvements should be seen in the context of the agricultural use of much of the land, and of the prevailing Solihull Rights of Way
Improvement Plan 2016 (ROWIP). Best possible standards and practice should be applied for the physical state of the path network. Registration of unrecorded access rights should be encouraged and expedited. The Local Plan should also define how funding derived from developers will be applied to the other aspects of enhancements to the Green Belt.

Play and open space provision - requirements for the provision of play spaces as part of potential development sites should be extended across the Borough. standards should be established with regard to the scale of provision; nearness to dwellings; phasing within the Plan period; the type and quantity of play equipment; lighting, over-looking and physical security; the segregation of public access from ecological areas; and the process for the adoption of these areas by the Local Authority

Public space enhancements in the North of the Borough.
While the availability of space is a major constraint, the high population density should justify a greater emphasis on the provision and maintenance of public space for recreation and amenity. A uniform standard should be applied across the Borough for defining requirements for public access and green space.
