I wish to register my concerns over the above proposed development around Hockley Heath.

TRAFFIC - Over the years Hockley Heath have had to endure the addition of the M42, then the M40 which created the 3A Junction. Any problems such as roadworks and accidents then brings Hockley Heath to a standstill. The A3400 which splits the village then becomes a bottleneck to avoid the hold ups. Due to lack of transport infrastructure most family homes need to be 2-4 car families to get out of the village. Add another 4/5,000 homes to this and it doesn't take a genius to see what will happen. Almost everything in the village feeds into the A3400.

SCHOOLING/HEALTH/AMENITIES - We have no Doctors surgery and need to drive. The small Primary School is full to overflowing and even with a new Primary School built, this does not cover the problem of 11+ and further education students. Tudor Grange and Arden School are not able to take more. Already a few children are having to travel by minibus to Balsall Common. We have no bank and the mobile post office comes for a few hours on a Tuesday.
PLEASE do not further destroy a village and surrounding villages in the name of progress. This will not only affect Hockley Heath but the wider area. In view of the fact that Hockley Heath is serviced primarily by Solihull MBC it seems unfair to add this to their burden. Surely Warwickshire is a big enough County to find a few small develpments to fulfil the Government Directive!
