To who it may concern
I wish to strongly object to the proposed decision to include green belt land .. off the A449 at Holbeach Wall Heath in your core plan for future development. In this area of northern Kingswinford we have already over the past 3 years had 700 new homes built at Stallings Lane and a further site is just about to commence development with a further 170 homes. Should this be approved this would be another 330 homes exiting onto the main A449 Road which is already badly congested during peak times.
We do not have the Road network to sustain anymore large development plans. Kingswinford does not have a railway station or tram network or motorway and so all this extra burden would go onto the road network.
Our schools are all fully subscribed to and both doctors and dentists are already difficult to get an appointment. I do not see the building of a new school in this strategy?
I have lived in Kingswinford since [x] when it was a small village, with a clear boundary between the neighbouring villages of Wall Heath and Wordsley, however these communities have now merged into one with over development, but within that time no new schools have been built, and no new doctors surgeries have opened.
I think enough is enough now.
I value our wild life, I see bats around my windows at dusk and [animals] in this field. We are told climate change is happening now so do your bit… find more brownfield land. I am told by Mike Wood there is some.
Yours sincerely
