We have received notification that Summix FHS Developments have now submitted an outline planning application to SMBC .
This will now go through the validation process by the council which normally takes two to three weeks
In summary, the submitted proposals include: (Taken from the Summix document)
Up to 850 new homes, including 50% affordable provision and a mix of tenures and sizes, ensuring local families, young people and older residents can access high-quality accommodation within their community.
Over 25 hectares of accessible green space, play areas, parkland, allotments and nature-rich corridors resulting in a biodiversity net gain of at least 10%.
New amenities for the community, including a local centre with potential uses such as a local shop, café or community hall.
Traffic calming improvements to the existing highways conditions along Norton Lane, delivering raised table junctions, chicanes, crossings and enhanced gateway features to reduce vehicle speeds and address highways safety concerns raised by the local community.
A new flood alleviation scheme to help solve existing flooding issues along Norton Lane, benefitting in the region of 60 properties, while ensuring the proposals will not lead to any increase of flooding on-site or in the local area.
A mobility hub including new bus stops, bicycle parking, EV charging points, travel information and signage to assist with journey planning alongside a seating area to create a welcoming space for residents.
New cycle and footpaths to improve connections to key destinations, such as Wythall railway station, in addition to improvements to existing walkways and cycle paths, ensuring safe and accessible routes for pedestrians and cyclists.
Significant financial contributions, to be secured through s106 and CIL to Solihull Council, to improve local provision for health, education, transport and other types of community infrastructure.
