Proposed development of sites 8 & 9 will put additional strain on an already overload Knowle high street
inclusion of Amber site 413 would push the system to breaking point
surrounding roads to Amber site 413 are rural and would not cope
Site 413 - Development on this scale in addition to what is already planned would destroy the very fabric and charm that is Dorridge village. Infrastructure would be crippled and the additional traffic created would cause a significant health and safety risk. Much green belt land would be lost, hedgerows destroyed as well as many mature oak trees, which would affect wildlife. Inevitably property prices would be adversely affected in surrounding areas, causing hardship to many. With 950 units already in the plan, I consider KDBH have accommodated more than their fair share of housing development in the Birmingham area.
