Re - Planning application plot 16 - east of Solihull between Lugtrout Lane and Hampton lane.
We appreciate that adequate Housing is required to meet the needs of our local community and understand why the proposed site would accommodate this need. As a resident at Pinfold Road, we wanted to share our views regarding the proposed development site.
The land behind our property is currently a wooded area backing onto farmland. This does contain large trees which acts as an area of privacy for our property and also security which is a concern due to a number of recent burglaries to properties on our cul-de-sac. The wooded area also has a population of birds, foxes and badgers and it would be nice to ensure that some of their habitat is protected. We would appreciate consideration for this small amount of land at the back of properties on Pinfold Road to remain and request that this information is taken into account during this planning stage.
Another concern that we have is the degree of traffic that we experience trying to get in and out of Pinfold road to join Yew Tree lane. We find this particularly difficult around times of shift changes for Jaguar Land Rover workers. With such a large amount of increased housing proposed at this site, we are concerned that this would significantly increase the current traffic situation.
We would if possible like to be kept up-to-date during the planning stages and welcome consultation with planners alongside other residents in this area.
