Welcome to this public consultation website which presents emerging proposals by Canmoor for the development of two sites at Coleshill Heath Road, Solihull, B37 7SS for residential development.

The emerging proposals aim to provide a policy-compliant density and  mix of housing types, along with policy compliant affordable housing, public open space, sustainable drainage, and associated works.

The housing crisis that is upon us, has been recognised and accepted for some time now, yet local politics all too frequently restricts new development from coming forward. This government appears determined to address the problem through increasing the housing supply within the areas that need it most.

Whilst the provision of new housing follows a complex and site-specific process, the facts speak for themselves;

• The average house price within Solihull is £328,000 (ONS, February 2026).
• According to Rightmove, the historical sold prices in Chelmsley Wood over the last year were similar to the previous year and 4% up on the 2023 peak of £189,261. Increasing house prices are making the property market less accessible for multiple demographics.
• The average house price paid in Solihull by First-Time Buyers was £262,000 (ONS, February 2026).
• The average age for a First-Time Buyer is 34 BBC News (March 2026).

These proposals aim to help address the housing crisis and provide an opportunity for people seeking to buy a home to live in. The proposed scheme will aspire to provide market housing, policy compliant affordable housing, and a policy compliant housing mix creating multiple ways for people to access the property ladder.

This website forms part of a wider consultation being undertaken by Canmoor and provides information on the proposals as they emerge. Included on the website is an online survey providing the opportunity to comment on the proposed development.

We would welcome your feedback on these proposals before Wednesday 17^th June 2026. Your feedback will be considered by the project team before the scheme is finalised and an application is submitted to Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council.
