LPR 5 (A452 / Moorend Av. Junction) proposed development concerns me as the HS2 development 2 miles away will result in increased traffic past the location and resultant noise, vibration and pollution, a poor location for housing.
As a local resident I have already been affected by increased traffic delays from the recent single lane running downgrading of the adjoining A452 past the Chelmunds Cross development. Any junction modelling must take account of future road expansion and not further constrict it exacerbating traffic issues. Once developed it will be difficult to re-develop as required by increased traffic flow.

The beautiful green space and nature areas of chelmsley wood are being destroyed. The Chester Road moored avenue area is adjacent to the nature area by the river Cole. It's beautiful and part of the local community used for dog walking exercise and playing. This is the same for the land at the back of Hawksworth crescent and kite green close. Give us quality of life in the north of the borough as well as the south

I think the use of green space to build houses on is wrong.
We have lost enough green space in the north of the borough.
Enough is enough.

the site includes what is a key intersection of the local road network. this would bring its deliverability into question and potentially lead to the DLP being challenged at a later stage.
Also concerned about the potential loss of open space/LWS.

Support replacement of the roundabout. Given isolation from other residential areas and position on the highway network, an alternative commercial or retail use is suggested.

Site 5 - Chester Road / Moorend Avenue
Development here has been considered for some time but generally in terms of community facilities with a small proportion of housing and major junction realignment. It's hard to see how, with 100 homes suggested, there would be any room for such well-needed community facilities. It's also likely that further recreational and biodiverse green space would be lost at the edges, which would be unacceptable to the local community given the scale of what has already been lost nearby.

The majority of this site is designated as a Local Wildlife Site; Cole Bank Park.
The Wildlife Trust therefore objects to the inclusion of this site allocation on the basis that it does not appear possible for a development scheme to avoid an impact on the LWS.
SHELAA states that 'this site is considered to be unsuitable and unachievable'.

Site 5 Objection.
Loss of green and open space. Already lost a lot in Fordbridge.
Loss of visual and recreational amenity.
Would reduce size of Meriden Park.
Intensify an already densely populated area.
The Council wishes to object strongly to the proposal to develop land at the junction of Moorend Avenue and Chester Road following possible re-configuration of the road junction.
The proposal will inevitably lead to the further loss of valuable and increasingly rare open space in Fordbridge. The land to the western side of Moorend Avenue on the edge of Meriden Park offers visual and recreational amenity for the local community but it would disappear as part of this proposal. Meriden Park is the only park of any substance in the Fordbridge and Chelmsley Wood wards and it would be reduced in size and enclosed and restricted by the proposed development.
Fordbridge and North Solihull needs its green space and development such as that proposed at Moorend Avenue will sadly over intensify an already densely populated area.

SHELAA identifies the site as facing significant suitability and achievability constraints, notably almost 50% of site within Flood Zone 2 and 25-50% of Site in a LWS.
Poor marketability and/or viability.
Limited developable land.
Unlikely to come forward in first 10 years of plan period.
Notwithstanding the comments above, if site should come forward, potential only for 100 dwellings.

A no brainer, what on earth will happen to the existing road network and the traffic corridor for the Chester road/ Collector road especially with all the expected extra growth at the HS2 hub . traffic east bound on this route to bham will increase. The last road improvements on the chester road at Craig croft and the Timberley shops have been heavily criticised so the council dont have a great track record on roads in North Solihull. also you would not build on a large open island in South solihull so why is it ok in Chelmsley Wood.
a whole list of sites
site 4 - shouldn't be allowed to sprawl across and join almost to majors green . the existing roads cant cope
site 5 - a no brainer what on earth will happen to the existing road network and the traffic corridor for the Chester road/ Collector road especially with all the expected extra growth at the HS2 hub . traffic east bound on this route to bham will increase. The last road improvements on the chester road at Craig croft and the Timberley shops have been heavily criticised so the council dont have a great track record on roads in North Solihull. also you would not build on a large open island in South solihull so why is it ok in Chelmsley Wood,
site 7 - yes if its done sensitively and enhances kingshurst. but if the homes are more modern Bellway shoeboxes like at Woodlands next to smiths wood college then it is a waste of an opportunity.
Site 14 - same as site 7 Arran way deserves well planned homes . not high density modern slums
site 15 - yes to building on brownfield but not the open space /sports ground. why does chelmsley wood have to lose all its open space
site 16 - major road works would be needed to prevent gridlock back onto Damson park way , hampton lane and the warwick road junction to the M42. proposed high growth at the A45 corridor from JLR / HS2 will have a massive impact on this whole road network between A45 and A41 & M42
site 17 - if the council depot and light industry move out where will they be relocated . will more green belt be taken elsewhere . Lode lane is a congested traffic corridor . the site would have to be carefully designed to avoid all the social and parking problems that wharf lane next door has experienced
