Representation Summary:

[25 new homes Guys Lane, Lower Gornal]

1- Over development in out area:-
Large housing developments have been completed or will be completed within a few hundred yards of guys lane. Notable both sides of Tansey Green Rd (Hundreds of houses) opposite these sites. The other side off Stallings Lane (Hundreds of Houses) together with sites built on the Fiddlers Arms and Factory opposite (Hopyard Lane/ Straits Rd)

2. Consequently lack of Transport Infrastructure.
Guys Lane is already a rabbit run for cars, police ambulances wishing to avoid five ways traffic lights and short cut between Cinder Road and Himley Road. This together with the many accidents which have taken place at the junction of Guys Lane, Brook Bank Road and Brook Bank Gardens should preclude any further additional traffic flow caused by developments
3. Environmental and Healthy Issues
The site proposed is home to Rabbits, Foxes, Bats and numerous species of Bird including Sparrow Hawk, Harris Hawk, Goshawk and Buzzard together with songbirds of all types. along with dog walkers/ horses grazing help the wellbeing and mental health of the mainly elderly residents.
