Planning regeneration

For the regeneration project to be a success it is important to involve local people at every stage, so they can shape the future of their own neighbourhood.

So far we have planned 3 neighbourhoods Craig Croft, North Arran Way and Kingshurst and Babbs Mill and have developed a masterplan for each area.

Following our review of the strategic framework in 2009 the process for planning a neighbourhood and developing a spatial masterplan is now an approach based on clusters.

The Cole Valley Vision

In Spring 2010 Alan Baxter and John Thompson and Partners (JTP) were appointed  by the North Solihull Partnership to work with the local community to develop a new masterplan for the area, which is being referred to as the Cole Valley Vision.

In Summer 2010 we held a Community Planning Event and Community Forum meetings to hear your ideas for a central part of the regeneration area around the Cole Valley. Since then the design team has been developing a masterplan that will guide improvements and change in the area over the next 5 years. We also started to undertake a series of technical studies for the proposals to help inform our recommendations for the Masterplan.

Cole Valley Drop-in Exhibition

We held a public drop-in exhibition on Saturday, 27th October 2012 which was very well attended. We had almost 200 people come to see our masterplan for the Cole Valley, including sites proposed for new housing development, improvements to green space and proposed changes to the Chester Road and Moorend Avenue.  All the feedback is now being collated and will be considered when we are designing the sites and greenspace enhancements in the future. 

If you didn't get the chance to come to the exhibition, or you would like to comment further on the plans, please click here to view the exhibition material and click here to print out a feedback form.  Completed forms can be posted back to us at North Solihull Partnership, Endeavour House, Meriden Drive, Kingshurst B37 6BX or emailed to info@northsolihull.co.uk
