Solihull Local Plan: Final Consultation
30 October - 14 December 2020
 
Five years in the making, the Council has released for final public consultation their Solihull Local Plan (SLP), called the 'Draft Submission' version.
This sets out the Council's proposals for future development across the Borough. It's important because it will be the basis for future planning decisions, including siting of major new developments in our area. Once approved, the SLP will guide development of the Borough through to 2036.  The KDBH Forum will be responding to this final stage of consultation.
 
The Consultation closes on 14th December and residents comments are more important than ever for the Forum to understand community views on the final proposals, thereby helping to shape responses to the Council.  The Forum has created four short videos as an easier way to digest and understand what Council proposals mean for Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Heath.
