This is a large-scale development that will turn a village into a town, totally altering its distinctive rural identity. It is against Solihull MBC's local plan.
The earmarked land is greenbelt. This is an amenity that has been preserved over many years to the benefit of us all. The loss of nature and green spaces to walk will be detrimental to all current residents.
There are already serious surface water drainage/flooding problems on the Stratford Road. Covering the surrounding area with more tarmac can only exacerbate this.
The A3400 already has traffic jams in the mornings and evenings. Increasing the number of homes severalfold will increase the number of cars and the risk of accidents.
Hockley Heath does not even have a bus into Birmingham any longer.
Dorridge surgery is already oversubscribed to the point where it is really stressful and difficult to get an appointment even in an emergency.
The local school is already full and cannot possibly cope with several times more children.
Although this is South Warwickshire's development plan, the above services would have to be expanded at Solihull's expense.
