Site known as Land off Lutley Lane, Adj to Brookside Close.
It has been brought to our attention, the proposal for building houses on the land opposite Brookside Close, Halesowen B63.
WE WISH TO OPPOSE THE APPLICATION.
We would bring to your attention, the fact that this land is in constant use by the residents of both the Hasbury Farm and Squirrels estates for walking and also exercising their dogs.
In the lock down, when we were only allowed to exercise within 3 miles of our home, we found it a godsend to be able to walk across the fields using the public rights of way.
Your "OC2 version of form", only mentions the public footpath running alongside the eastern boundary, but there is also a bridleway on the north of the site.
Where do you propose to access the site?
The area where Lutley Lane meets Huntingtree Road, contains The Mill which is currently classed as an historic site.
Lutley Lane towards the farm, is only able to be used by farm tractors and would not be suitable for any wider vehicles unless hedgerows were removed from adjoining land.
Please re think your policy ! There are many brownfield sites that could be used instead .
