There has been a large amount of development in South Shirley/Blythe including a large number of retirement residences. This will have freed up family homes. This does not appear to have been taken into account. Placing 38% of the housing in an already built up and congested area would be a flawed decision.
The Call for Sites and the sites selected has caused a disproportionate amount of housing being allocated to the South Shirley/Blythe area ie 38% of the housing allocation.
There has been a large amount of development in South Shirley/Blythe this includes a large number of retirement residences. This will have freed up "family" homes. This does not appear to have been taken into account. Also in the Blythe area the proposed developments are within established road networks this reduces the scope of being able to redesign the road network. Please consider the transport and the local facilities before allowing further development. Placing 38% of the housing in an already built up and congested area would be a flawed decision.
