Allocation 13
Please accept this email as my objection to development on the greenbelt land mentioned above.

This land is home to wildlife and is used by dog walkers and families, my own included. I live on Neville Road, we moved here just over 4 years ago from neighbouring Hall Green. The town/countryside feel and easy access to parkland appealed to us, with easy access to walk and enjoy the local countryside. Within months of moving the development of Parkgate began, we were astonished that a huge part of this lovely park would be lost to development! If we lose more land where will our children be able to play, in wide open space that is safe and accessible? Please consider this.

I understand the housing need our country faces and the part Solihull MBC must play in this, but I implore you to consider development of existing sites, the impact on local residents and the loss of parkland we have already incurred.
