Object to housing Site 18 as increased traffic would cause massive hold ups especially at school drop off and pick up times, safety of school children should be top priority, density and style of development is out of character with area, land should be retained for sports ground to help with shortage of facilities, loss of established trees and open space, and schools and medical facilities already oversubscribed and it would be impossible to accommodate additional numbers.
Proposed Housing Allocation 18
We wish to add our strong objection to the proposed development of 100 houses on Sharmans Cross Road:-
It would certainly be obvious that the increased traffic would cause massive hold ups and especially at school drop off and pick up times. The safety of children being a top priority whether they are being driven, cycling or walking to the school entrance gates on Sharmans Cross Road.
It would appear that the volume and style of the proposed development would be totally out of character for the area and as there is such a shortage of available sports grounds, facilities and pitches in Solihull this plot should be kept for those purposes. This development would require the removal and cutting down of long established mature trees and growth - therefore destroying open space which has been enjoyed by many over the years.
Our local schools and medical surgeries are presently at bursting point and full to capacity and it would be impossible to accommodate all the extra numbers that a large housing development would require.
Once again, I strongly object to this proposal being put forward and hope Solihull Council do not approve this application.
