Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 255

Received: 11/01/2017

Respondent: Andrew Robinson

Representation Summary:

The area is the only public area for walkers and dog walkers in the area between Tanworth Lane and Dickens Heath. The proposal goes right up to the boundary of the massive Christmas tree plantation and airstrip. Rather than ruin the area for all the local people, why not compulsorily purchase the tree plantation.
There will need to be substantial improvements to the road network to cope with, probably, 1,000 cars and related vehicles arising from the new dwellings. Tanworth Lane, Dog Kennel Lane and Blackford Road are already overcrowded in rush hours with constant queues.

The potential plan for this development has been brought to my attention and, as a local resident, I'm writing to express my concern.

The area concerned is the only public area for walkers and dog walkers in the area between Tanworth Lane and Dickens Heath. The proposal goes right up to the boundary of the massive Christmas tree plantation and airstrip. Rather than ruin the area for all the local people, why not compulsorily purchase the tree plantation and only upset one very rich person, rather than hundreds of ordinary ones?

However, whatever you do, there will need to be substantial improvements to the road network to cope with, probably, 1,000 cars and related vehicles arising from the new dwellings. Tanworth Lane, Dog Kennel Lane and Blackford Road are already overcrowded in rush hours with constant queues.

Please ensure my comments are fed into the debate.
