Gateway South Cluster
(updated 25th May 2010)
The story so far
The Strategic Framework, was agreed by Solihull Council in February 2005 after we consulted residents in 2004. It sets out how the Partnership intends to improve the physical and social infrastructure of North Solihull through major investment in schools, Village Centres, transport and green space.
In January 2009 we consulted residents and stakeholders on our key findings from the review of the strategic framework which included the new way of planning the regeneration, an approach based on Clusters and the Cluster Plan which shows where those key investment areas are.

The Gateway South Cluster is a key gateway at the intersection of the major and local highway networks. It represents an opportunity to create prominent, high quality development including a new Village Centre, a new Primary School and generate funding to enhance the adjacent strategic green space and river valley.
The Cole Valley Vision
John Thompson & Partners (JTP), Alan Baxter Associates (ABA) and a consultant team have been appointed by the North Solihull Partnership (NSP) to develop a strategic Vision and masterplan for the areas referred to as the Gateway North & South Clusters. The NSP identifies these clusters as areas for intervention and regeneration, and the masterplan will set out key opportunities for physical, social and economic change.One of the main aims of the study is to explore how the River Cole Valley can be reconnected with both Chelmsley Wood Town Centre and the surrounding residential communities. It is essential that the Vision reflects the needs and aspirations of the local community and the main focus of the process will be the Community Planning Weekend held over the weekend of the 4/5 June 2010 at Bishop Wilson Primary School, Pike Drive, Solihull.
