Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

As this development is right on the border with the parish of Wythall, some evidence of consideration and collaboration should be included with plans of how the local road network will be improved to cope with the additional traffic.
Ideally a reduced number of houses would be preferable.

Wythall Parish Council Planning Committee have grave concerns over the effect to the surrounding area, particularly Majors Green, of policy BL1. Traffic will increase enormously on already busy and historically dangerous rural roads including Haslucks Green Road which has a hump back bridge, blind bend and adverse camber within a stretch of a few hundred metres. The Plan contains no measures to mitigate this detrimental effect on neighbouring parishes.
Also, there will be an increase in passenger numbers using Whitlocks End Train Station, yet there is no mention within the plan of how the already full car park will cope.
