Residents of Ash Lane who strongly object to the proposals. PLANS for another housing development in Hopwood have been met with anger by residents, which has left them feeling that Hopwood is being dumped on. A planning application for 15 affordable homes including three retirement bungalows on Ash Lane has been put to Bromsgrove District Council, a street away from another proposal for 22 homes. Residents of Ash Lane have expressed their grave concerns about the possibility of adding another potential 30 cars to an already busy and tight lane. Ash Lane is the main access point for Hopwood Garden Centre, and two rugby clubs; Five Ways Old Edwardians RFC and Kings Norton RFC, so there is a constant stream of traffic on a lane that already has issues with space for two cars.
