Regarding the possibility of Solihull Council changing the status of green belt land on Widney Manor Road I would like to register my strongest. objection.
Widney Manor Road is a unique road within Solihull and indeed has been referred to well outside the borough for its charm and character despite being so close to Solihull Town Centre.
For the Council to even consider the risk of changing the character of the road by allowing the possibility of back garden development(s) is concerning to say the least.
What is also concerning is that so few people on Widney Manor Road have been consulted on this.
The whole topic of changing precious green belt areas across Solihull is not just for people living within a small distance of said sites it is for everyone living in the borough.
Whilst understanding that the Council has obligations regarding housing I would want to be convinced by the Council that no stone has been left unturned to look at alternatives to giving up Green Belt. What is being done to develop 'brownfield sites' for instance?
The land in question includes a wildlife corridor which has seen significant improvement in the numbers of badgers, deer etc since the last applications for back garden devt was submitted some 9 years or so ago.
Please keep me informed regarding the next stages of the consultation process.
