I object to 38% of Solihull housing to be built in Blythe Valley. Extremely unfair. The loss of Green belt will be a disaster for the environment including removal sports grounds and playing fields. With 2000 new homes there will be 4000 extra cars, the roads in Shirley are already congested. This will cause gridlock and already limited parking at stations. There is no recognition of existing air pollution this willbe b exacerbated by this plan. Flooding be a potential problem with a lack of infrastructure options. , I agree with the expert view of Jean Walters. See attached document.
