Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020
Policy KN1 - Hampton Road, Knowle
Representation ID: 13746
Received: 10/12/2020
Respondent: Knowle, Dorridge & Bentley Heath Neighbourhood Forum CIO
Legally compliant? Not specified
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Relates to Concept Masterplan - The new Green Belt boundary on the northern part of the site should be formed by retention and strengthening of the existing hedgerow. The outer limit of residential development should be pulled back so as to avoid breaching the ridgeline that crosses the site. This could be compensated for by higher density development on the other (football club) site, but only in the form of a care village or retirement complex. Other modifications are needed to make the document succinct and to include or amplify details relating to the objective / aim of the development, phasing and delivery, household types and other key principles.
- The developers proposal should be deleted as it adds to confusion as to the status of the Masterplan.
Various modification to the Masterplan as set out in representations including:
- A statement setting out the fundamental aim of the proposals.
- Revisions to the north easterly extent of development.
- Removal of reference to the road being the new Green Belt boundary.
- Reference to Neighbourhood Planning policies.
- Retention of footpaths along current alignment.
- Define medium density as 30 – 35 dph.

- Developer masterplan to be deleted.
