Allocation 13 - 600 houses

I am writing in regards to the housing building plan set by local Government. Though I understand the need to more housing, it is not acceptable that over 40% of the planned building are going to be in our area - already suffering from massive increase in traffic and transport in particular. My surgery on Stratford road already is stretched to the limit and it was hard for me to find school for my daughter as schools around the area are over subscribed.
As you are certainly aware this area suffers immensely from lack of government funds for our schools and the situation is taking its tool as children like my daughter who has different needs no being able to get what they need from their school - increasing the number of pupils will have a detrimental impact on our local schools.

As for the benefits mentioned on the Review, it is hard to see any benefit to HS2 as Shirley will be one of the worse places in the borough to get to the new station, when it eventually be ready. Till then A34 and M42 areas will be even more congested.

I hope other people have something to say and this time it won't be like the Parkside development when we woke up to see our Shirley Park destroyed and our beautiful 300 years old Oak trees cut off in such a snick way. More clarity is needed and the council needs to make sure the community around here is fully aware of the reality and impact of the council's plans.

I am looking forward to your comments,
