Representation Summary:

I realise we will have to have some new builds in the area but why can't we have these spread more evenly across the whole borough? Eg. rural areas nearer to HS2?

Allocation 13

As a resident of the Badgers Estate in Shirley, Solihull I would like to register my concerns over the forthcoming development in relation to the above. My objections are:

1. The size of the build. I realise we will have to have some new builds in the area but why can't we have these spread more evenly across the whole borough? Eg. rural areas nearer to HS2

2. The population in Shirley will be left with virtually no green belt - the Council have already built in our park - how is this taking our well being into consideration?

3. The infrastructure is already at capacity thanks to the Dickens Heath development, how much more do you expect Bills Lane, Haslucks Green Road etc. to take?

4. Both Shirley and Whitlock's End railway stations car parks are packed to capacity.

5. How do you propose stopping even more landlords from buying property which ends up empty like so many existing properties in Dickens Heath?

These are just 5 of my concerns but there are more particularly over the infra structure - we have to live here and it is becoming increasingly undesirable
