We object to site 600 due to dilution of Green Belt and the site's sheer scale. The road network and traffic flows have had to be altered to accommodate continuing developments at Dickens Heath and Tidbury Green. Those who have lived in the area for decades and those who have moved more recently to enjoy lake/field views strongly oppose the scheme. The current road network, waste disposal, water supply and electricity supply are stretched to their limits. There is no street lighting, which impacts safety.

The Causeway is the only direct access to Malthouse Lane from Shirley and adjacent areas. While an important piece of character history, it is dangerous for traffic even with current levels of use. Development would increase traffic which would cause unacceptable danger to vehicles, pedestrians and dogs. There are large traffic buildups twice a day associated with the local school in Tidbury Green. Development would increase schooling needs and possibly require school expansion, which would cause traffic chaos.

Tanworth-in-Arden have already identified suitable land for development and did not choose this field. They say views should be protected and ribbon development should be limited, particularly on the fringes of Terry's Pool and the Earlswood Lakes.
