In December 2021 IM Land submitted details of the latest modelling work undertaken by DTA which shows how the potential highway constraints can be resolved.

An agreement has been reached between the Highways Authority and IM Land that the proposed improvements at the A41-Wrottesley Park Road junction would mitigate the additional forecast traffic generated by the proposals. It has also been confirmed that the developer would need to provide financial contributions in accordance with the Council’s school transport contribution policy.

There is no reference in the latest (and final) version of the Plan, or the evidence base, which refers or even acknowledges that this information has been considered by the Council. The Council’s assessment and eventually decision to exclude the site on highway ground is not justified and so is not soundly-based.

The evidence base and site assessment of Land at Perton Golf Club should be revised to reflect the evidence on highway issues prepared by DTA and the site allocated.
