A lot of new housing has already built in recent years causing more congestion and severe shortage of adequate car park spaces. Hence cars parked along residential roads causing obstruction. Such a large number of extra homes would place too much strain on local roads in particular those going towards Knowle, also M42 A34 and A41. Some of these are narrow lanes ie:- Grove Road and Norton Green Road. The extra vehicles would spoil the character and tranquillity of Knowle village and surrounds.
It contravenes Policy D1 as its far too dense for the rural surroundings. It wouldn't promote local character as required by The National Planning Policy Forum. Visual sensitivity would be high due to the open nature of Blue Lake Road.
Accessibility by bus would be poor. Services have just been reduced to an hourly service. It is half a mile from Dorridge to this development and there will be nowhere to park these extra cars if people were able to walk to the bus stops


Site 207 would make far more sense due to access to Solihull town ,M42 A34 etc thereby reducing traffic from more existing congested area.
