My wife and I are very clear that Site 431 should be omitted from the Local Plan.

There are both macro and micro factors to consider.

From a macro perspective this area is already creaking at the seams from the point of view of both delivery of local services such as health and education and also negative changes to the social and cultural nature of the area. Significant additional housing over recent years has already placed strain on the area with excessive parking along Dorridge and nearby roads for train commuters who can't find spaces at the station car parks, and the congestion associated with the new Sainsburys being two good examples of the pain local residents are feeling.

From a micro perspective in relation to Site 431 itself, the impact on residents of Blue Lake Rd would be huge with a small local road facing intolerable levels of additional traffic causing safety issues.
It is highly unlikely any development of this site would be able to maintain the character and appearance of the existing landscape due to the current low density nature of existing development which is harmonious with existing Greenbelt policy.There are other Red Sites which would be much less impacted from this perspective .
Site 431 is very open with long vistas which would be fundamentally spoiled and totally change the nature and character of the area.
