Representation Summary:

FAL contests the statement that: “A concentration of large scale developments, such as the West Midlands Interchange (WMI) strategic rail freight interchange, poses a threat to the district in terms of the cumulative impact on the surrounding infrastructure". This is not justified and therefore does not meet the soundness tests set out at paragraph 35 of the National Planning Policy Framework (“NPPF”). FAL respectfully requests that this text is removed from the next draft version of the draft Local Plan on the basis that the draft Local Plan cannot be considered sound if it remains.
