I am commenting on site 59 and 110and a red site 98.
Site 59 kixley Lane is the oldest road in knowle with historical
importance and the proposed Amber site 59 would be detrimental of that
road it holds great historical value when you appreciate the location of the church to its proximity to Kixley lane it self.
currently situated on edge of the village and adjacent to green belt
landscape going down to the locks. The same applies to site 110. From the
canal you see a beautiful landscape on the edge of the village. Which from my lounge window I regularly see a Heron which sits directly on said Amber site.

This wonderful beauty would be lost if houses were built here. it would result in losing the real village character you experience as
you approach knowle and the church from the kenilworth road.
They have settled here because they have space to breed & enjoy some rare green belt in the area and the wildlife feel safe here. It would be a terrible loss to nhe natural wildlife if
this site were lost to development. I am a home owner deeply saddened by the thought of house being built on a typical country lane which keeps knowle in its original heritage.
