At the Solihull Council meeting on Wednesday Blyth Ward Councillor Ken Meeson and Chair of the DH Parish Council Richard Holt successfully urged the planning committee not to consider the planning applications for Braggs Farm or Cleobury Lane, at least until after they are released for housing development through the Local Development Plan.
This means that the applications will now not be considered until after the site are released through the LDP in April 2018 (Braggs Farm) and April 2023 (Cleobury Lane).

So will they finish the eye sore in middle of the village before then? Thats the 64 million dollar question. Nothing else should be allowed to be built til thats finished! Well done to the councillors. Great job guys x
Very sensible. The infrastructure simply isn’t there to support the increase in traffic etc. And with the floods nationwide in mind, measures are needed to address this before the developers embark on an orgy of expansion. I remember moving here in 1998 and the original literature proclaimed there would be a maximum of 800 properties. It sadly hasn’t been adhered to.
Well done guys thanks for all your efforts
Thank you for the comments. Just to update you on ‘unfinished business’ the council has agreed contract with administrators and a developer appointed. The dots and i’s need addressing, but fingers crossed that work will start this year.
That’s great news. We’re all looking forward to the centre of the village being finished!!
