Site 13 Objection.
Negative impact on local community to lose this green space. Regularly used.
Recognise housing shortage, but extending existing built up area will harm community health and wellbeing.
Unfair to put 41% of new housing next to Shirley.
Supporting infrastructure will have added negative effect in terms of traffic, schools and doctors.
Burden of central government targets needs to be fairly shared across Solihull Borough, including the more affluent areas.
Objection to Allocation 13
I wish to formally object to the proposal to build on land adjacent to the Woodlands Estate Allocation 13. It would have a negative impact on our community to lose this green space used regularly by locals of all ages. I appreciate the housing shortage but to simply extend an existing built up area is thoughtless in terms of community health and well being.
I see the proposals in Shirley extend to 41% of the overall plan involving 4 significant areas within the vicinity which is grossly unfair.
The infrastructure to support such proposals will have an added negative effect in terms of traffic, schools and doctors.
The burden of the central government targets needs to be fairly shared across the Solihull Borough including the more affluent areas - suspicions of NIMBY surrounding these proposals appear profound.
