Appeal against building on Housing Site 13 South of Shirley

I would like to add my concerns to the no doubt many others you have received regarding plans for new houses to be built within Housing Site 13 South of Shirley. I have lived in Shirley with my husband and young sons for a number of years, having moved here from Hall Green for the greater access to the green space that this corner of Shirley provides. I understand that new homes are needed in the borough but I am opposed to such a large development on a well used green space by local residents. I would be extremely disappointed if any new houses were built on this land and will fight against any plans to do so. With the re-development of the Power-Gen site soon to start, Shirley needs better infrastructure, more schools, more Doctors and other services before any new developments should be considered.
