A controversial application seeking approval to build a 4,000-plot Muslim cemetery on Greenbelt land in Catherine de Barnes has received well over 1,000 objections.
But many of those are from a ‘patriotic political movement’ called Britain First, which has set up a website dedicated to stopping the development.
The organisation - which has the motto ‘Taking Our Country Back’ on its logo - also has a ready-penned letter of complaint which objectors simply have to add their details to to make an objection to the scheme.
Solihull Council is currently in the process of confirming which complaints are genuine in terms of including their name and address.
The application - for land off Catherine de Barnes Lane - was accompanied by five letters of support from Muslim community members.
Planning chiefs are hoping to make a decision on the application at the next Planning Meeting on January 29 - but due to the number of complaints being received and the sensitive subject matter, this could be delayed to ensure all the relevant infomation is available.
The number of people from a Black or Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) group has increased in Solihull by 11,638 - 108 per cent - between 2001 and 2011.
