I strongly feel this side of Solihull is already massively congested, Hampton Lane is already used as a cut through from A45/Airport traffic/NEC ect, this will be compounded by adding more homes off the back of Hampton Lane (Ludgate Lane). COVID has taught us that having access to open green spaces has a real positive impact on people, why is there an unnecessary need to repurpose these ‘Green’ spaces what allow the community to live in a balance environment supporting local nature. This development will only add to more pollution and congestion having a negative impact on the environment.

I understand homes are needed but I fail to see an evidence that addresses the current challenges in the area. Demand on schools & local services is too high. As a resident of 15 years, I’ve struggled to place my children at local schools (long waiting lists and competition). Seeing a doctor is difficult, so much so that I self-diagnose via NHS website. The roads struggle, Hampton Lane has traffic queuing up at peak times, these queues extend down so far along Hampton Lane/Damson Pkway.
