1. Effect on local services, GPs, Dentists and Russels Hall Hospital who are all heavily over stretched. Lack of much needed extra nurses and doctors. Shortage of NHS dentists . Where are all these extra staff going to come from to cope. Already waiting times and lists getting longer
2. The effect on already congested and polluted roads with increasing delays, higher emissions and poor air quality. A second access road going onto the A449 would increase accidents. Not able to cross this road as it stands now. Dangerous for school children trying to cross the road you already take you life into your own hands trying to cross the A449. No crossings at all. The ridiculous twin roundabouts in Wallheath already have numerous accidents as no one is quire sure how to use them. There will be even extra accidents with more traffic going through the village. The same applies to the junctions along the A449 where people are always pulling out of the side roads and there is often accidents to the junctions along the A449 where people are always pulling out of the side roads and there is often accidents at these blackspots as well on a daily basis.
3. local schools are already oversubscribed. Extensions to existing schools are not going to solve the problem. Where are the extra teachers to be found. Heavily congested outside schools, parking blocking residents drives, even though there is a single white lines painted outside. Children will have to travel further afield to find places.

4. No youth centre in Wallheath and limited for Kingswinford and no local sports/leisure centres.

5. All Brownfield sites should be used before building on greenbelt land. Wallheath is a lovely village and will be ruined, just like Swindon will. You talk about getting out into fresh ait for mental health and experience nature and everything there is too appreciate then you are just being hypocrites by bulldozing it all down and not caring about impact that this will have on wildlife etc. Extra noise and pollution. Holbeach site should remain a site of local importance for Nature Conservation which will also impact on historical Holbeache House.
6. People have chosen to move away from large residential areas and live close to rural areas with cleaner air and green spaces, Building of this size will increase extra air and water pollution
