I would like the proposal to remove the development proposed adjacent to and behind 225 Lugtrout Lane and would also like them to re-confirm no development will take place on the football ground opposite 225 Lugtrout Lane.

As the property owner of 225 Lugtrout Lane, Solihull I am writing with regards to the proposed development adjacent to 225 Lugtrout Lane and directly behind the property leading towards the canal.

It has been noted from the proposed plans that 9 dwellings with driveways will be created on this site. There is no justification for these dwellings and benefits they will create to the community. It goes against the green belt and natural setting of the site and brings in more ecological issues outweighing any potential benefits. There is no outline of how the additional traffic/ pollution/ congestion/ works schedule etc. in order to minimise the safety and air quality for my family consisting of 2 adults and 3 small children.

This proposed site is not aligned and splits through the boundary of the significantly developed area on the opposite side of the lane and therefore is treated as an additional development site. In its own merits this site does not constitute or is appropriate to be considered for social/ housing to improve the local area and amenities.

In addition, there is no reasoning for converting the green belt area and reassigning the land status but simply an opportunity for the housing developer.

The site is attracted by and frequented by varied wildlife whose natural habitat will be destroyed as a consequence of irrelevant development. It has been acknowledged that a pond will be created with no appreciation for reason and benefit? I frequently see deers, owls, birds of prey, foxes, rabbits behind my property and building on this green belt land will endanger the habitat of these animals.

I believe this plan specifically behind and adjacent to 225 Lugtrout Lane, represents inappropriate development which is harmful to the Green Belt and fails to preserve the openness of the land. This would also harm the character of the area and I fail to see how it enhances the distinctiveness of the area.

The site proposal will also have major impacts on the road network especially Lugtrout Lane and require further infrastructure provisioning for safety of residents, which in turn further eludes from the preservation of the Green Belt and inappropriate use.
