A site away from an existing large housing area, but within reach of infrastructrure, perhaps a redeveloped brownfield site, may not impact so much on local traffic and would help avoid negative impacts on green belt.

The site seems to be within green belt and there are no special circumstances to remove it. The Grade II listed Field Farm may be effected, along with access problems via the sports pitches. Damson Parkway is a very busy link road from Solihull to the main A45 road, made busier by the JLR plant access. Using the same road for a major new housing development will only add to congestion.
