We would like to have objections noted to the proposed development site 16 on Lugtrout lane and the land North of Lugtrout Lane and Oak Farm site 24.
This is GREEN BELT land known as the the Catney Gap and would if built on lead to the loss of the rural gap between Solihull and rural Catherine de Barnes. It will leave no real defensible boundries to protect our precious green belt or to the wild life that absolutely needs protecting.
Lugtrout Lane is a country lane with no footpath lighting or proper drainage and is susceptible to flooding as the water table is high. There is already considerable usage of the lane by workers at the Land Rover Plant, This, at times can lead to traffic jams and speeding. It is extremely dangerous to walk at anytime in the Lane.
Much of the said land is presently used agricultural farm land. The sports fields at the other end of the site will become unsustainable.
There are at times, problems caused by cars being parked in Lugtrout lane when there are football matches on.This can only compound the problem with traffic from the housing development.
The plans do not include any new infrastructure to cope with the obvious extra traffic. No new Doctors surgery or schools!!!
Yew Tree lane Doctors surgery is already at capacity and no plans for new local schools.
Catherine de Barnes is now part of Hampton in Arden Parish. There are multiple threats from HS2 and the M42 junction 6 and the MSA. Together with the proposed high density housing on Oak Farm we can only assume there is to be multi-storey housing or packed in terraced property. There is insufficient parking spaces and as we all know the public transport is extremely in adequate. This land was originally proposed for use as a home for the elderly. This would be an option and would cause less impact on the local infrastructure.
Please consider these proposals very carefully. Once the GREEN BELT is built on its lost forever along with natures habitat.
