No

Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1342

Received: 14/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Sylvia Gardiner

Representation Summary:

I disapprove of so many houses being built in this area 41%. While appreciating the need for more houses. South Shirley green belt is heavily used and enjoy by dog walkers, children, runners, ramblers and cyclists. If the council take all the fields, so much enjoyed by the residence. Activities will be forced onto already busy streets: it will be to the detriment of health. I ask you to consider how much open space there is in Shirley. Already Shirley Park has been eroded for shops and flats. Green lane Park is really hardly fit for purpose.
