To make the most of the opportunity HS2 presents to Solihull, the Council has established the Urban Growth Company (UGC). The Council has 56 days to respond to Schedule 17 submissions.Ī few planning applications will be submitted outside of the Schedule 17 and will be examined in the normal way through the Council’s Planning Committee process. However, the Council has taken the decision to notify Parish/Town Councils and Ward Members of Schedule 17 submissions once they are received. There is no statutory duty for Local Planning Authorities to consult bodies such as Parish Councils on Schedule 17 submissions received. The Council cannot impose conditions without the consent of the applicant, HS2 Ltd, and so has limited scope for intervention. The remaining applications the Council will need to consider largely focus on matters of detail and will only have narrow parameters within which they can be determined. Many of the effects of the project have already been evaluated and found to be acceptable as judged against the Environmental Statement that accompanied the HS2 Act. However, because the HS2 Bill became an Act it is important to understand that planning permission has in effect been given for the works, as detailed in the Schedule 17 applications in the planning tracker.Īny decision on these applications cannot revisit matters settled through the parliamentary process. By their nature, these applications are not open to the normal process for consultation or engagement.
