The boroughs Local Development Plan is commented on in an earlier post on this website, but for new readers the draft plan can be seen here: http://www.solihull.gov.uk/Attachments/Solihull_Draft_Local_Plan_Sept_2012.pdf
The Planning Inspector, who by law has to review the plan before it can be adopted by the Secretary of State reported his Interim Comments last month and his report can be viewed here: http://www.solihull.gov.uk/Attachments/Interim_Conclusions.pdf
I am ever the optimist and believe the comments reflect well on the boroughs plan, which hopefully will lead it to be adopted soon. The council has submitted modifications to the plan in respect of these interim conclusions: http://www.solihull.gov.uk/Attachments/Main_Modifications_document_FINAL_12_July_2013(2).pdf (I have had trouble downloading this – but the report can be read on the council website).
