The land should be retained for sports use at a time when such facilities are lacking.
There would be a strain on available school places and doctors surgeries which are already over subscribed.
Traffic would be heavier around all local roads which at peak times are already under stress with long tail backs.
The density of the build would be totally out of character for the area.
Development will increase pressure on parking in the local area as on-site parking will be inadequate.
LDP proposed housing allocation Site 18
I am writing to raise my objections to the above land being used for housing. My reasons for the objection are listed below:
1. This land was meant to be for sport and there is already a lack of sports pitches in Solihull we should be encouraging our young to participate in outdoor pursuits not robbing them of land that should be available for them.
2. There would be a strain on available school places and doctors surgeries which are already under strain in this area for instance it can take a week to get a doctors appointment which would only get worse with the density of this proposed development.
3. Traffic would be heavier around all the roads which at peak times are already under stress with long tail backs.
4. The density of the build would be totally out of character for the area.
5. With such a high density of housing it would be impossible for the developer to offer enough parking for the properties being built which means cars would be parked anywhere creating chaos in the surrounding area.
I believe it is time to stop giving all our green areas in town away for housing as it will turn out to have a detrimental effect on Solihull.
