1. This is Green Belt land that has been green space for years, certainly within living memory. My understanding of Green Belt is that these areas should only be built on in ‘exceptional’ circumstances or at least with the agreement of the residents.
2. The area earmarked for building is vast and does not sit with Solihull Borough Councils ‘local plan’ which states that only small scale development is appropriate for Hockley Heath.
3. This development would have a major impact upon the usage of the Stratford Road (A34).
4. There does not appear to be any improved infrastructure to sustain a development such as this.
5. It really goes without saying that the loss of the Green Belt land would be catastrophic for the local biodiversity with the local flora and fauna being massively disturbed.
6. Most of all I fear the loss of identity as a rural village.
