Earlswood housing development risk update

My last two posts on here were about potential housing development taking place within the Earlswood recording area and unfortunately this post will be a third, to provide an update on current state of the matter. There have been several "Call for Sites" undertaken by the councils covering the Solihull borough and Stratford district parts of the Earlswood area since I've been birding it, and the latest for the Solihull Local Plan Review has recently been publicised with many blocks of land on patch submitted by agents and landowners for consideration:

These areas include one of the two main areas for breeding Skylark and the main area where singing Yellowhammer have been recorded. It also encompasses pockets of woodland, scrubland, permanent pasture and farm ponds. Indirect effects such as increased numbers of people, dogs and cats putting pressure on the wildlife and habitats in surrounding areas including Clowes Wood and New Fallings Coppice SSSI and the lakes would be likely too. On a positive note though, the former location of the heathland that gave Fulford Heath its name hasn't been proposed this time, raising some personal hope that this field, currently permanent pasture surrounded by woodland shelterbelt, might be restored to heathland one day.

In the Stratford district part, which falls under the South Warwickshire Local Plan area, there were a good many areas in Earlswood proposed for that "Call for Sites". Somewhat fortunately, the next stage of the plan has seen no areas in this part of Earlswood taken forward for the "Preferred Options" consultation. However, there are three very large areas near the boundary which are being considered further, again likely to put more indirect pressure on the wildlife and habitats of Earlswood:

Lastly, the Tanworth Neighbourhood Development Plan allocated the field along Earlswood Common by the nursery as a site for a small-scale housing scheme, and a planning application for 11 houses was submitted this winter. I put in an objection due to the lack of consultation with Natural England despite the site's location close to the River Blythe SSSI, potential impacts on the SSSI meadow which has held Common Snipe numbers of county importance and attracted other notable bird species, and the loss of semi-improved grassland and mature hedgerow used by amber- and red-listed bird species, when there are numerous other fields nearby with less wildlife interest. The application is still pending consideration.
