RESIDENTS have raised concerns about plans for a fresh ‘garden grabbing’
scheme in Marston Green.
The application has been lodged with Solihull Council by Clark,
Gallagher & Ray to build ten semi-detached dwellings behind existing homes
in Holly Lane .
Under the proposals, the three-bedroom properties and associated parking space would be
erected to the rear of Nos 22-34.
Responding to the news on the village's Facebook page, many residents were concerned that the extra homes would pile new pressure on services which were already struggling to cope.
Kate Allsop wrote: "No more houses! The doctor's surgery is a nightmare. Imagine the schools will be bursting at the seams too."
Emma Savage said that the scheme would cause traffic "chaos" on an already busy road and urged fellow residents to object.

It’s not the first time that residents living in the road
have been faced with a controversial development.
Almost 150 locals had petitioned against a previous
scheme, by a different developer, to build a block of 31 apartments. That application was eventually approved by the Government in 2008.
This new development is likely to be considered by the
council’s planning committee later this year. For more details visit the council's website.
