Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9133
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Gemma Welch
Objection to proposed development in Shirley:
- Too much focus has been placed on areas surrounding Shirley, which is unable to withstand the proposed growth.
- Too much traffic already in Shirley
- Proposal of one primary school is insufficient, new population will create need for new secondary school. School places already in high demand.
- Public transport in area is insufficient
- GPs are oversubscribed
- Parking issues at Whitlocks End station and Shirley station.
TOO MUCH FOCUS HAS BEEN PLACED ON AREAS SURROUNDING SHIRLEY, WHICH IS UNABLE TO WITHSTAND THE PROPOSED GROWTH. BROWNFIELD SITES SHOULD TAKE PREFEREMCE OVER BUILDING ON GREENBELT LAND AND SURROUNDING. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ENOUGH EXPLORATION OF ALTERNATIVE SITES AND GREENBELT LAND AND SURROUNDING IS AN EASY OPTION FOR DEVELOPERS.
