- The existing road should be the fixed boundary marking green belt land

1000 New houses Cheswick Green – Site -12 – Dog Kennel Lane

Cheswick Green cannot cope with any more developments. A disproportionate number of houses being built are in Cheswick Green compared to the rest of the borough. Not enough houses are being built on brownfield sites. Also this closes the gap between Cheswick green and Shirley and makes this less of a rural village. Dog Kennel Lane is the only boundary between Cheswick Green and adjoining areas of the Borough. If that boundary is lost the rest of our parish is open to further extensive development. We face the likelihood that very little if any green space will remain. The existing road should be the fixed boundary marking green belt land and this shouldn’t be built on just by adding a new road/boundary. National planning policy confirms that green belt should be defined by permanent features such as roads, railways or water courses. The council intend to create an artificial boundary by building a road as part of the proposed development. This goes against the spirit and intentions of national planning policy.

Further strain will be added to the NHS. There is already no nearby hospital a and e for residents here and almost impossible to obtain doctors’ appointments and there are no plans to add to these facilities.

Flooding risk is heightened, what are the measures in place to prevent further flooding.

Only 2 roads in and out to the main motorway and towards Solihull. No local train station so car is only option. It is already ridiculous at peak times and this will only be made worse with no increases to parking spaces at train stations or to extending the railway line to this area/Blythe.
