I feel that the mass of development proposed does not fit with this paragraph. Dickens Heath has already been expanded and yes I agree some of this is for the better I feel they need to consider that developing this area will reduce the gap in Shirley. Which the open space is one of the most used in the area by all ages.
As an alternative I would consider a mixture of development sites scattered around Solihull, still providing the open space for people to use. IE don't build on Allocation 13 but move this site further round to the edge of Woods christmas tree farm where access is directly off a main roads further out of Shirley but also closer to the stations.
