Representation ID: 10826

Received: 13/12/2020

Respondent: Solihull Tree Wardens

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The site will destroy Green Belt farmland and could damage, if not destroy, fine mature trees.
It will increase the risk of flooding downstream in the Cheswick Green area.
Many houses are already being built in Cheswick Green parish.This development will add to the excessive pressure on local services, such as transport and medical facilities.
The lack of a proper defined southern boundary to the development could lead to further development in the future, destroying the open space between Shirley and Cheswick Green. The proposed estate roads would probably encourage future development, country park plans not withstanding.

Change suggested by respondent:

Use brown field sites instead.
