Insufficient infrastructure to support new homes (Roads/Doctors/Schools) - Increased Pollution - more elderly housing not required - Cheswick Green and Dickens Heath being slowly merged together.
I am emailing to express my great concern at the amount of new housing being built in the Shirley south area. There have already been vast amounts of apartments for the elderly being built in Shirley south. And now 15,000 more houses are being proposed! We do not have the infrastructure to support an extra 15,000 homes. We are already grid locked along Tamworth lane, Blackford road and Dog Kennel lane with the building that has already taken place in Shirley south, Cheswick Green and Dickens Heath which all converge on these roads already! 15,000 new homes means an extra 30,000 cars on average which means increasing traffic pollution and further gridlock! We do not have enough Doctor's surgeries, schools etc to support all the extra people who will live in these houses which would be many thousands if the average family has four people in one house! We are now having more elderly housing being built at The Green by TRW in Shirley south and that is before this next phase of building in Shirley South!
Shirley south, Cheswick Green and Dickens Heath are slowly being merged together with your inconsiderate housing plans!
Please reconsider what you are doing to this area before it is too late!
