The parks and green spaces of Solihull are a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors. Packed with playgrounds, gardens, lakes and facilities to suit all ages, they provide a natural meeting point for friends and families.

Replacing the Unitary Development Plan is the Local Development Framework (LDF). The LDF is a collection of documents which make up the statutory Development Plan for the borough.
