1. Remove Whitlocks End Farm from planned new housing and significantly reduce the remainder of new homes in the Blythe area.
2. Share the planned housing equitably around the borough. It is remarkable how some Borough areas are marginally affected and there is a sense of a grievous imbalance in this political process
3. Listen more to local residents living in the affected areas and address current unacceptable levels of traffic, air pollution, and reduction in adjacent green space
4. Make better use of existing brown field sites/vacant premises within the Borough to build affordable starter homes and stop the saturation of expensive new build homes for the elderly

Having lived in Shirley South for 36 years I object strongly to the disproportionate amount of new homes planned for the Blythe area. Already significant expansion has taken place in the Dickens Heath/Tidbury Green area. Further expansion of housing at sites 26, 4 and 12 will impact adversely on increased traffic flow, congestion, and air pollution as well as the reduction of green space and natural habitat. Moreover building on Whitlocks End Farm will create excessive traffic flow on Bills Lane already a nightmare for local residents including pedestrians who have to walk the narrow path near the railway bridge
