I am writing to formally oppose the inclusion of SG24 within the SWLP.
I am a local Hockley Heath resident, having lived in the village for 15 years

I feel that the planning proposed is of a ridiculous scale that will impact the village significantly and we affect the lives of so many of the residents that chose to live here for the village as it is.
There appears to be little thought put into how this could impact such a small village and how the area can even cope with it. Where there are so many other areas that are a lot more set up for building of this scale.
There are so many areas of concern and upset that I cause me to propose against a plan of this scale.
I am not adverse to development but this amount I feel is so detrimental.

As a resident on the Stratford Road that walks 2-3 times a day. I am already finding daily difficulty in crossing the Stratford Road due to how busy it has become in my opinion since the development of Blythe Valley.
The increased amount of traffic through the village would be horrific.
And a huge safety concern. I already feel we are just waiting for an accident to happen.

The impact on the local wildlife is one of my biggest concerns.
Again as a daily walker I see a lot of bats dusk and dawn. Deer most days over the fields as well as hearing owls, woodpeckers and seeing birds of prey. Alongside the smaller birds, foxes, and other wildlife they are all going to be killed off. And this is just the most upsetting of it all. The scale of the project and you need to take into account what solihull council are proposing also is clearing this habitat for these wildlife and we are losing acres and acres of green belt.

These are my 2 major concerns. There are so many more but the reality is that we would be losing our village and making a town without any significant infrastructure to support it.

Please add this email to your many objections to the proposed plans
