Great News! Well done Walmley Residents, thank you for your objections!
As you may have already heard, the plans for the new junction proposals have been withdrawn for now, due to the large amount of objections raised by local residents. The developers were surprised at how many objections there were. We await their next proposals. Many thanks to David Cooke for all of his guidance on Langley SUE.
All objections must be received at Birmingham Council by 26th November 2023.
As many objections as possible. Please tell your friends and neighbours
WRA guidance for objecting to the new plans for Langley to claim new land, extra to the greenbelt land they have already taken. These are the green, tree-lined strips on Webster Way, Thimble End Road and Springfield Road. Please email to both addresses as it is unclear which one to use, and we don't know if these departments forward emails to each other. There are many new junction proposals. Please see the documents below.
All objections must be received at Birmingham Council by 26th November 2023.

Langley SUE Update
21.07.23
The infrastructior for Langley will start later this year (2023). Please ask your friends and neighbours to join WRA to grow our numbers. WRA are checking that the plans are being adhered to and short-cuts from the developers are prevented.
Information Regarding Roads
There will be entrances onto the development coming off existing roads. Two entrances off Springfield Road, two off Fox Hollies Road and two off Webster Way.
There will be a new roundabout/junction with traffic lights on Webster Way at Calder Drive, and a pelican crossing. Webster Way will have three lanes at Calder Drive end.
We will have a new junction at Thimble End.
There will be a new slip-road on Ox Leys Road. Most of the new traffic will feed into the existing roads, causing a significant impact on our existing traffic.
Highways England are looking at improvements on Dunton Island. Five years ago Minworth Island had improvements, which included traffic lights. Highways England predicted that Minworth Island would be saturated, 85%flow, after five years, which brings us to this point.
There is very little information on the sprint bus as yet. It is likely to travel in from Birmingham along Kingsbury Road into Langley and smaller busses will then take people into Sutton.
Information Regarding the Houses
The supplementary planning document says the whole development will be split into areas.
The phasing plan for a total of 5,500/6,500 houses is a twenty year period.
Building will start at the end of 2023. There will be chunks of land built at a time. The initial five years will see 1,500 houses built. Building will start along the outer edges of the fields, facing Springfield Road, Thimble End Road and Wester Way.
Ninety three hectares will be green infrastructure. There will be three orchards. The development will include mixed use religious places.
Each house will have an electric car charging point, plus a garage or car space.
Builders include Bovis Homes and Taylor Wimpy. There will be 30% affordable housing which can be for sale or for rent. The affordable housing will be scattered throughout the whole development and will not be concentrated in one place.
The first school to be built will be on the senior school site and will cater for all ages, including 6th form. As Langley population grows primary schools will be built, and the senior school will no longer cater for younger children. Homes England own the land where the schools will be built.
