The proposed development at Sites 4 and 13 will exacerbate the traffic congestion on Haslucks Green Road, already causing gridlock in peak times following the Asda development and with the Powergen redevelopment to come, as occupiers will use Asda and/or route to Solihull/Birmingham so the road infrastructure is inadequate to support this level of development, and will remove green belt further from Shirley.
I am writing to object to the proposed housing at allocation 4 and 13
I am a resident of Haslucks Croft and have been subject to the vast increase in traffic due to the Asda site
At the enquiry for the ASDA application their counsel conceded that in rush hour there was ALREADY 7000 cars /hour moving along Haslucks Green Rd
Now eg on Saturdays it is grid lock back to the Cole brook public house due queuing into asda car park In effect it results in us having extreme difficulty turning out of haslucks croft in any direction
The intended development at the Powergen site and proposed petrol station will only render the problem more accute
It is apparent that the proposed development at 4 and 13 = 1300 houses will exacerbate the problem as it is quite clear that the new owners would use Asda
the nearest supermarket to shop and use in any event Haslucks Green rRd to access to Solihull and Birmingham , in essence the infra structure is not there to support this level of building density
Solihull motto is "town in the country " not town near a green belt the other side of the M42 ?>
