I disagree with this policy on the basis that you are using Green Belt land that should be preserved for wildlife and habitats. How can you be protecting and enhancing our natural assets when you are destroying countryside. As a local resident in the Damson Parkway area I do not believe within this policy you have considered the amount of disruption not only in noise pollution but in emissions from traffic that is going to have a negative impact by contributing to climate change within this local area. In this policy you have stated that these plans will contribute tho the attractiveness of the borough, for people that work, live and invest in Solihull. For Residents in Damson Wood I do not think a Waste disposal unit next to the monstrosity of JLR this will make the area attractive. This will also prevent people from investing and moving to this area, and will affect local residents being able to travel to work. This will also affect peoples mental health and well being.
