Thank you for dropping Site 13. However, Site 26 remains an inappropriate development area for the following reasons:
- proportionality - south Shirley is already taking the brunt of development from Shirley to the M42
- environment - the Christmas tree farm assists with carbon offset and Is an important wildlife area
- spatial separation - the urban edge is too close to Dickens Heath. It must be remembered that the context is from a virtually uninterrupted urban sprawl from Birmingham to this site. The distance is insufficient
- inappropriate use of Green belt
