Plans have been unveiled for hundreds of new homes in a Solihull village.
It is the latest application for Tidbury Green which is set to see a massive increase from its current population of around 1,000 if all the plans come to fruition.
Applicant Bloor Homes wants to build up to 200 new homes on land off Dickens Heath Road in the village.

The plans also feature land for community use and for a public open space.
A document submitted to Solihull Council from planning agents Savills on behalf of the applicant says: "Proposals will be submitted in the form of an outline planning application, with all matters reserved except for access.
"The site, which is circa 14.80 hectares in size, is currently in use as pasture land and vehicular access via Tilehouse Lane close to Yew Tree Farm.

- Potential school/community use
- Pedestrian/cycle connections

"The layout has been designed around landscaping, green spaces, linkages and a landscape corridor between the proposed development and Birchy Leasowes Lane running along the northern boundary."
In July the company submitted an application to the authority's planners for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Screening Opinion – a procedure which will determine whether the proposed development will have a significant impact on the environment.
However in a notice issued on August 1 officer Lawrence Osborne, the council's team leader of major projects delivery, said the EIA was not needed.
He wrote: "The development is unlikely to have significant environmental impacts.
"It is therefore not EIA development and an Environmental Impact Assessment would therefore not be required."
An outline planning application is yet to be submitted to Solihull Council planners.
As the Local Democracy Reporting Service previously reported developers Summix FHS Development LLP wants to build 850 homes on land south of Norton Lane, also in Tidbury Green.
