Proposed Housing Allocation 18

Please note my objection to the proposed development of 100 new houses in Sharmans Cross Road


Parking is already very disruptive in Sharman's Cross Road - this proposed development will affect safety and congestion.

We have too few sporting facilities already this will lead to a further loss. Sprite England have noted Solihull's very poor position in the rankings.

Traffic in that area is already gridlocked at certain times of the day with resultant high pollution. This will have a detrimental effect on highway safety and a real danger to pedestrians.

The density of the proposed development will destroy the character of the neighbourhood leading to a loss of light and privacy

Flooding is already a real issue for Sharman's Cross road. Clearly the development will make this worse.

We need to protect the many mature trees with Tree Preservation Orders.

Our schools and medical centres are already over subscribed and this will lead to reduced service for existing residents.


Listen to your residents and do not allow this application to proceed.
