At yesterdays Birmingham City Council Planning Committee, a planning application for office units to be built on the Tambridge Industrial Park was agreed.
I have no problem with that planning application being allowed as redevelopment and new jobs are needed in the area. However I have had to put on record my concerns, that given the amount of new development near in the area in question, a new college, a hotel/ takeaway not to mention the football academy and the Wicks super store, I do feel there is a major traffic problem in the making.
It is my believe that planning application should be seen not as they are currently as individual applications but also as part of a wider scenario.
Any one using the Aldridge Road will no that there is a natural bottle neck near the Bores head due to the motor way bridge. There is also a ridiculous situation where for example any one using the near by Tambridge House is asked to consider parking at the Perry Barr Race track near half a mile away do to the terrible parking situation on the Tambrige industrial estate.
I have been assured that the traffic and parking situation on the Aldridge road will be monitored but I still feel in five or ten years there will be major problems and that the Transportation department in particular should be doing more to address possible problems in this area, with the future in mind.
