Solihull Council is preparing a new Local Plan.
As part of this process the Council needs to know if there are any potential sites which may be able to help meet the Borough’s development needs in the future.
From Friday 29 November 2024 to Friday 31 January 2025 the Council invited landowners, residents and other interested parties to submit sites that could have development potential, and this resulted in over 300 sites being suggested for potential development.
It is important to note that this is a land availability exercise, and it does not necessarily mean that these sites are suitable for development. Through the plan-making process, the Council will determine how much growth should be included in the plan, and where it should be located.
The Council has published an online interactive map and schedule of all the sites that have been submitted, so that those interested in the plan-making process can see what land is being promoted for inclusion in the plan.
The Council will undertake a thorough review of the sites before concluding which ones may be considered suitable for development.
The next stage will be for the Council to consult on a preferred option for the new plan, which is expected to take place before the end of the 2025.
