Disproportionate growth in Blythe & South Shirley area
- 39% of all proposed new hosing to be in South Shirley/Blythe ward.
- Excessive burden on small area
- Lack ability to improve capacity of road network to cope with this level of growth
- Area already had a large amount of growth and roads and infrastructure have not been improved to accommodate this
- Seems continuing approach to add more housing to Dickens Heath to avoid finding sites elsewhere;
- Little local employment in the area; commuting creates traffic jams at peak times.
- Not everyone travels by train.
Remove part of Site BL1, south of Tythe Barn Lane, from the plan
See attached letter.
