Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020
Knowle, Dorridge & Bentley Heath
Representation ID: 14071
Received: 14/12/2020
Respondent: Bus Action Partnership (KDBH)
Legally compliant? Not specified

Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Para. 685 - Object to assertion that area is well served by public transport.
- Dorridge train service not convenient for Knowle residents, given station parking issues.
- Night time return services from Birmingham to Dorridge are poor. See Solihull Connected’s references to Community Liveability Programme.
- Currently no bus service along Hampton Road.
- KDBH already has high car ownership, imperative that bus service is improved to enable Sites KN1 and KN2.
Paragraph 685 should be amended to reflect true transport provision in KDBH. This would accord with ‘Justification’ criteria in Para’s 268, 271 & 276.

Para. 696 – Object – Improvement required immediately to bus services. Recent survey by Bus Action Partnership showed dissatisfaction with frequency, reliability and punctuality of services.
N.B. See Para. 253 of Plan - KDBH has 10% of Borough’s population, but transport operators claim it is difficult to achieve sustainable modes of transport as area is categorised as rural.
