Concern for number of properties built in Blythe. This will result in huge traffic problems which in turn will increase air pollution. There is also no plan to my knowledge for infrastructure, such as schools, GP surgeries, public transport.
38% of the whole borough's housing allocation is in the Blythe/Shirley South Wards. Why have other areas in the borough not been put forward for housing development?
Will result in total gridlock. The roads around these areas are already very congested at peak times
Spatial planning Department, Solihull Council
I am extremely concerned about the inconceivable number of properties being built in the Blythe Ward/Shirley South Ward. This will result in huge traffic problems which in turn will increase air pollution. There is also no plan to my knowledge for infrastructure, such as schools, GP surgeries, public transport.
A large amount of the land being built on is in the Green Belt and I understand that 38% of the whole borough's housing allocation is in the Blythe/Shirley South Wards. Why has this been passed? Why have other areas in the borough not been put forward for housing development?
This is an untenable situation for the people living in these areas and will result in total gridlock. The roads around these areas are already very congested at peak times. Has a survey been carried out to assess the impact this building will have in these areas?
I welcome your response as soon as possible please
