FTAO THE POLICY AND DELIVERY TEAM:

I wish to express my concern regarding the proposed use of land adjacent to Kixley Lane for a further development of housing.

Firstly the letter, passed on to me by my mother who lives on Kixley Lane, states to make comments through the online portal. I cannot work out where on your site this is and since there is no indication of a link in the letter, I have chosen to email. The www.solihull.gov.uk/lpr brings up nothing relating to the proposal on Kixley Lane as far as I can see?

Solihull Council has approximately 1200 empty/derelict houses and it is infuriating to think that rather than renovate these, the council are considering taking more of our beautiful English countryside - our green and pleasant land.

It would be absolutely criminal to build houses on the field adjacent to Kixley Lane; this being the oldest lane in Knowle and a pathway for many to our beautiful countryside and beyond. Canals do not look quite so appealing when lined with housing. This is green belt/farm land and needs keeping this way.

Kixley Lane needs to stay as it is. Please do not ruin yet another beautiful Road in Knowle. We live on Hampton Road and have already been subjected to the development by Miller Homes; we lost the fields behind us - tragic.

Keep Kixley Lane as it has been for years and should always be. There is no need to develop on this land. This site should most definitely be excluded from the plan in my opinion, for what it's worth.
