Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Barretts Farm development

This will materially affect the quality of the environment:
1) 900 homes x average of 3 residents per home = additional 2700 (approx) people added to the existing population, just from this one development. This is massive, and will forever distort its environment, and the nature of the village
2) THIS IS GREEN BELT LAND - why do we keep forgetting this, why do we keep finding reasons to justify its erosion, and why do we not find every reason to successfully find alternative solutions?

Change suggested by respondent:

This development should not take place for the above reasons, and the housing should be re-allocated to areas where the environmental impact would be much less, for example, around the outskirts of Solihull.
