Hockley Heath is a small village with minimal infrastructure. It has no GP practice, pharmacy or post office and one small one-form entry primary school which feeds the already over-subscribed Tudor Grange secondary school.
[Redacted] Children of Hockley Heath have to travel to school by designated school buses as their school is too far to reach on foot and there are poor public transport services within the village.
Hockley Heath is already burdened by traffic through the village caused by congestion on both the M40 and M42 motorway. Traffic, including HGVs use the village to avoid this congestion and this puts the children travelling to and from their schools at further risk. The pollution level is also of increasing concern for what should be a semi-rural area.
Your plans for SG24 will destroy an area of natural beauty, wildlife habitats such as Deer, Badgers, Foxes, Owls to mention a few will be irradicated without a thought. You will destroy one of the most popular villages in the west midlands and this will also have a detrimental effect on the house prices.
The views of the residents of this village must be listened to and all views taken into account , the proposal of the development of 7000 new houses is simply obsurd and ask that you ensure my opposition to the plan is lodged.
