Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 10651

Received: 30/08/2021

Respondent: Dr Sharon Boden

Representation Summary:

Why promise us the creation of new green spaces of value for residents and wildlife whilst proposing to destroy existing ones. New housing developments will not help to sustain the resilience and vitality of Kingswinford and Wall Heath as local centres. They will do the opposite.

In reality, residential growth of this magnitude this will mean higher noise levels and poorer air quality impacting adjoining residents and wildlife, not to mention the negative impact of construction noise and traffic caused by new builds. Road traffic congestion in the area is already high especially on Summerhill, Cot Lane and Lodge Lane.
