Online petition of 1302 signatures submitted objecting to Site 12.
Site will see the development of 1,000 homes, and built on land that is commonly known as "Light Hall Farm".
This site is configured with Site 11 (primarily brownfield / commercial land.)
The already gridlocked roads of Dog Kennel Lane and Tanworth Lane already witness severe congestion at peak times and there is a serious burden on the area already seeing substantial development - BVP, Cheswick Green, Dickens Heath as well as commercial developments in the area.
The immediate area as well as Shirley in general will not be able to cope with the extra traffic this development will bring.
