I object to the proposed development around Hockley Heath, as all of the land is green belt and agricultural land, which would harm wildlife habitats and farmland, and limit residents' access to the countryside. The village currently has around 700 houses, this development would increase its size to nearly 4,000 completely changing its rural identity. The area lacks infrastructure, with no doctors' surgery, pharmacy, or sufficient schools and public transport. Flooding issues on local roads would worsen, and current traffic congestion is problematic, especially on Spring Lane, which is used by large lorries. Any houses built would be in Warwickshire the occupants would look to Solihull MBC for facilities which would be unfair in terms of funding. Also, this development would drastically increase the village's size and contradict Solihull MBC's small-scale development guidelines, while also lacking essential services like mains drainage and gas.
