Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7010

Received: 05/03/2019

Respondent: Jen Hickman

Representation Summary:

'Highway Improvements' will impact green belt - ancient hedgerows and established trees. The congestion is caused by traffic crossing Shirley from Dicken's Heath and beyond to get to the business parks and Solihull. Houses should be built nearer to jobs.
The 'Green Belt' should include allocations 12,13 and 26 to provide for the health and well being of the local community. The hedgerows, trees, fields and wetland areas are important wildlife habitats which currently link to other green areas to provide wildlife corridors. I support allocation 13 becoming a Nature Reserve.
