Object to Site 8 which should be reduced in size in line with responses to local consultation, to reduce impact on green belt, character of Knowle, services, traffic and risk of accidents on Hampton Road and at junction with Warwick Road, and to exclude protected trees, Purnells Brook and flood plain, and the Streamside Trust area thereby avoiding development at highest point of village.
Hampton Rd Site Objections:
The site includes listed trees and these areas need to be removed from the development.
The site includes Purnells Brook and this floods to protect the Blythe floodplain. This area should be removed.
The development area shown encroaches into the Streamside trust protected area.
Development should not take place on the highest point in the village. This area of the site should be removed.
There is inadequate consideration of the traffic issues on the Hampton Rd., this development will increase the risk of accidents on an already dangerous road.
The development encroaches into the green belt area on the east side of the village and should not be permitted.
The development would make traffic issues on the Hampton Rd., Warwick Rd junction worse.
The size of the development is too large, the local consultation requested small scale developments.
Developments should be spread across Knowle, Dorridge and Bently Heath, not all focussed on Knowle, which does not have services to support this development. This development would put at risk the unique character of Knowle
