The existing infrastructure cannot cope this the proposed scale of development

Development on the scale proposed will inevitably involve the Green Belt and result in 'urban sprawl linking Hockley Heath to Solihull.

Hockley Heath is a village that needs development to sustain businesses in the area, the village is small and has an ageing population it needs some development to keep it vibrant.

Hockley Heath is village of approximately 800 dwellings within the boundaries of Solihull. This Strategic Growth location has identified 12 sites around the village but within Warwickshire and Stratford-upon-Avon boundaries. These 12 sites total 134 hectares. Assuming a low housing density of 40 per hectare, this is approximately 5,400 additional dwellings. Even if only 15% of the sites are developed, this would double the size of the village. Considering Hockley Heath is located within Solihull, which has its own Local Plan, how is South Warwickshire engaging with SMBC to ensure the plans are integrated and infrastructure can support additional development?

I strongly object to the proposed development in our village. It will devastate the green belt, destroying vital wildlife habitats, including those of protected species like roe deer, which are already seeking refuge in gardens due to previous developments like Blythe Valley. The increase in traffic on narrow country lanes, ill-suited for high volumes, will lead to congestion and safety risks. Furthermore, the development will contribute to rising air pollution and permanently scar the British countryside. Once lost, these natural spaces cannot be recovered. I urge the council to prioritise preserving our environment over unnecessary urban sprawl.

Hockley Heath needs additional housing to make the village grow and enable younger people to move into the area. House prices are beyond the reach of most people and the village is not developing as it should.

I strongly disagree with the proposed mass development in the Hockley Heath area. Firstly, it will destroy the habitats of thousands of animals, including deer. Following the construction of Blythe Valley, we've already seen an influx of deer on our property due to the loss of their natural homes. Additionally, the increase in car traffic on our narrow country lanes would be unsustainable, leading to congestion, more pollution, and further degradation of our environment. This development threatens to destroy what little remains of the British countryside and will have a devastating impact on both wildlife and local residents.

I do not agree with the inclusion of strategic growth location SG24 in the plan. Hockley Heath suffers from significant surface water flooding, making the area unsuitable for development without substantial mitigation. Additionally, there is no local secondary school, which would increase pressure on oversubscribed schools in neighbouring areas, contrary to NPPF requirements to ensure sufficient educational infrastructure. A precedent exists in the Warwick District Local Plan (2017), where a proposed site in Barford was removed due to inadequate infrastructure. Prioritising better-connected and less constrained sites would align the Local Plan with national policies and deliver sustainable development.

Solihull MBC also has a plan that vastly expands Hockley Heath. HH has very little infrastructure to support this level of huge expansion (both Warks plan and Solihull). There is no local doctor or Post Office. The Primary School is single intake and very small, no Secondary School, No local train station, limited bus service, single main road that is already prone to congestion as used as M40 and M42 overspill. The placement of this urban expansion that is right next to an area that is in another Council jurisdiction is just cynical to avoid annoying your own constituents.

I strongly object to the proposed development plans in Hockley Heath. These plans will devastate local wildlife habitats, overwhelm narrow country lanes, and irreparably harm the cherished British countryside. Furthermore, the plan inclusion of a field adjacent to ours is seriously distressing (see attchd). This field lacks suitable access and borders a canal, making it entirely inappropriate for development. Our field is used for horses and it would be extremely inappropriate and disruptive to neighbour a housing development. I urge you to reconsider these plans, as they pose significant environmental, logistical, and ethical issues for the local community.

It is sensible to look at the area. However it crosses Solihull/Warwick/Stratford areas. Infrastructure and services are already poor. If many houses built large investment in infrastructure needed and has to be coordinated with other bodies in terms of quantity, quality, funding and timings. The effects on adjoining roads and communities will have to be considered also, including medical services - GPs, hospitals (Warwick Hospital a long way away, eslecially if C1 or Hatton Settlements on the route too

Hockley Heath is not able to accomodate such a volume of additional housing. The school is unable to provide spaces for more pupils, there is no doctor's surgery in the village and those closest are already creaking with the large quantity of people they already have to cater for.
Public transport is insubstantial and parking at shops will be an issue.
The village will struggle to cope with the additional volume of traffic and the impact to the already very busy flow of traffic on the A34 at peak times will be substantial.

Read my comments. I am totally against this development. I’d like to continue to live without suffering breathing issues due to increase pollution and feel my mental health will be affected by the noise and pollution and the murdering of the wildlife from their natural habitat. I don’t wish to view concrete jungles. I prefer to grow/raise our own food, and not to import everything. Keep our agricultural fields for the purpose they were there…and our green belt.

This is a small village where I grew up from a baby. Adding all of this housing without the infrastructure (small school, doctors surgery, few shops etc. ) will hugely add to the congestion we already experience. This absolutely cannot happen and should not even be considered.

Hockley Heath is a small community and can not sustain such a large growth. The infrastructure is not here. The village would no longer be recognisable and the damage to wildlife and the surrounding area unrepairable. I think it is awful that you are building next to and extending a village that is not even in your area- this should not be allowed.

The current roads are not designed for such heavy traffic, specifically around Ashford Road & Sadlerswell Lane. The infrastructure in Hockley Heath is not designed for 10x increase in housing. What are the proposals for additional schools, doctor/dentist? Road upgrades. What is the impact on the wildlife?
