A5 Site 413 - Development on this scale in addition to what is already planned would destroy the character of Dorridge.
Infrastructure would be crippled and the additional traffic created would cause a significant health and safety risk.
Much green belt land would be lost, hedgerows destroyed as well as many mature oak trees, which would affect wildlife.
Inevitably property prices would be adversely affected in surrounding areas, causing hardship to many.
With 950 units already in the plan, I consider KDBH have accommodated more than enough housing development in the Birmingham area.
Site 413 - Development on this scale in addition to what is already planned would destroy the very fabric and charm that is Dorridge village. Infrastructure would be crippled and the additional traffic created would cause a significant health and safety risk. Much green belt land would be lost, hedgerows destroyed as well as many mature oak trees, which would affect wildlife. Inevitably property prices would be adversely affected in surrounding areas, causing hardship to many. With 950 units already in the plan, I consider KDBH have accommodated more than their fair share of housing development in the Birmingham area.
