Representation Summary:

Whilst new housing is very much needed, object to 2550 homes in 4 sites so close together as local schools, medical services and roads will be unable to cope and the green belt will be a concrete jungle when there are brownfield sites that should be used first.

Proposed plans for new houses in Shirley

Whilst I agree with the building of new houses, which are very much needed, the proposed plan to build 2550 new homes in four sites so close together is not a good idea.
The schools will not cope, nor the doctors surgeries. The roads will be a nightmare, with all the extra traffic.
What will it be doing to our green belt? it will be a concrete jungle.
Please reconsider this proposal, surely there are brown sites which should be used before the green belt.
