Representation Summary:

Dear sir / madam
I am writing to lodge my objections to the development proposals for Doe Bank lane / Aldridge Road .

There is a network of established hedgerow containing mature trees including oak across this designated build site. Just this week I have heard reports of sightings of six red listed bird species on this land: [Redacted-sensitive information]. I also believe [Redacted-sensitive information] is a protected species.
This is not to mention the insects and animal population that thrives here.
If this damning proposal goes through the you should hang your heads in shame. Great Barr is choked with traffic from Asda to the Scott Arms . Adding to this will make it unsafe for our children to breathe in even more polluted air.
A sizeable petition is circulating now and growing quickly.
To remove the lungs of Great Barr would be , in my opinion, the worst move this planning group have ever made. There are plenty of Brownfield sites available in the area ripe for development. Please don’t suffocate the residents.
