Before anymore development and to protect our children’s safety!
Please Widen to School Road to be able to withstand the increased traffic from developments and Blythe Valley.
Locate a Doctors Surgery, pharmacy and expand the School in the village before any further development.
Leave the precious Greenbelt land alone, use Brown field and empty properties first.
We have expanded in this village already with Foxes Meadow, the housing association homes on the Stratford Road and the exclusive Aylesbury house hotel development.... we shouldn’t expand anymore, we cannot cope with more people without work on the infrastructure.

Firstly Greenbelt land should be protected. The Government have recently published a document stating that this is a major priority to safeguard our rural countryside and greenbelt areas. This is green belt land that is situated on a narrow quiet minor road, just outside a busy Primary School where aged 3 yr upwards walk around. No consideration or thought has been given to the massive Blythe Valley development which has just started having a fraction of houses finished and people moving in here, with no extra facilities provided at all at present, for example School spaces or Doctors etc. In Hockley Heath we don’t have a post office or Doctors or pharmacy for families making the reliance on car travel for everything ...putting more hazards onto this tiny road. We have no bus service into Birmingham anymore also with no post office, where is the economic infrastructure for this size of village. This development is increasing thenVillage way above the average levels a nationally, why this Village, which has a small Primary School that can not expand?
The land earmarked for development has wildlife and old Oak trees which will be destroyed, along with flooding for all the land, gardens and towpath surrounding this land if anything is built on this clay soil. Flooding is already a massive problem in this area, and with climate change we are predicated to have higher rain fall creating more flooding.
I am totally opposed to Green belt land being developed on. Solihull Council needs to really look at some empty commercial sites that lay empty as Businesses are not expanding or moving into this area, lost of empty shops on the high street, along with empty properties and brown field sites which should be developed all before anything Green to be touched.
The Land owner is rubbing his hands together at the wealth this will give him and his family so we can all be swamped with cars, noise and families with no schools or Doctors or Dentists to get their families into.
Fill all your empty residential and commercial buildings before comping to dig up our green belt land, leave our wildlife to flourish, and take your developments nearer villages that have roads built to withstand the increase in traffic and have a Doctors surgery and infrastructure to cope with this!
