Representation ID: 6609

The current strongly defensible boundary of Damson Parkway would be breached. The proposed boundary to the east ( Field Lane ) is not a boundary to development between the canal and Lugtrout Lane. The proposed concept does not retain the notable wildlife habitat between Hampton Lane and the agricultural land or provide a wildlife corridor to the remaining Green belt. .

This greenbelt is mostly high performing agricultural land. It provides a buffer between urban Solihull and Catherine de Barnes. The current strongly defensible boundary of Damson Parkway would be breached. The proposed boundary to the east ( Field Lane ) is not a boundary to development between the canal and Lugtrout Lane. The proposed concept does not retain the notable wildlife habitat between Hampton Lane and the agricultural land or provide a wildlife corridor to the remaining Green belt. Field lane rural character will not allow meaningful traffic. Traffic on all boundary roads is currently excessive. Traffic measures are required.
