Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6634

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Zoe Murtagh

Representation Summary:

I honestly understand there is a need for housing as our population grows ever larger however I am disgusted at how much 'green belt' land in Shirley/Blythe area is having to donate to the cause. It seems we have the lions share of new housing developments on our door step (mine particularly being directly opposite the proposed site 11 & 12)! The field behind my house becomes more like the wetlands in heavy rainfall and i have deep concern the overload of housing proposed on site 12 will have an adverse effect on the flood zone 2 & 3.
