Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7765

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs. Susan Hunter

Representation Summary:

Area taken a disproportionately high share of recent housing development.
Adverse impacts outweigh the benefits of providing houses near a railway station. High performing Green Belt would be lost.
Coalescence between Solihull and Bromsgrove.
Loss of sports pitches.
Additional traffic congestion, pollution and impact on health.
Parking at Whitlocks End Station is inadequate.
Loss of local character and original principles of Dickens Heath. Site is detached from the village.
Resistance to proposed footpath onto Birchy Close.
Impact on ecology and loss of wildlife habitat.
Poor drainage and flooding occurances would increase.
Impact on the landscape character and ancient woodland.
School already oversubscribed.
Development would breach an defensible Green Belt boundary and not create one.
