Woodlands Highway Development

(updated 24 February 2011)

North Solihull Partnership have been working on our plans for the Woodlands Highway development for some time.

The scheme we consulted on in September 2009 consisted of a residential development on the northern section and significant enhancements to the southern section to create a neighbourhood park.

As with any residential development on green space, some local residents had expressed concerns about the proposals for this site. As part of the consultation and discussions afterwards with local Councillors, the Councillors felt very strongly that the development and green space enhancements were the wrong way around and local residents would prefer them to be swapped around.

Therefore, in October 2010 we presented 2 options for the community to choose from. Option 1 showed a new residential development on the northern section of the greenspace (opposite the Kingdom Hall) and significant enhancements to the southern section to create a neighbourhood park. Option 2 showed a new residential development on southern section and the creation of the neighbourhood park on the northern section (opposite the Kingdom Hall).

The results of the consultation were that Option 1 was the preferred option.

North Solihull Partnership have therefore developed Option 1 further and will be submitting a planning application for this scheme shortly.

I would like to thank everyone who gave their views on our proposals. Should you have any additional questions or comments about our proposals for Woodlands Highway, please contact the Regeneration Hotline on 0800 389 7997 or email us at info@northsolihull.co.uk.
