Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 11076

Received: 30/08/2021

Respondent: Paul Nash

Representation Summary:

I would like to object against the proposed building of 115 properties in Worcester Lane for the following reasons:
1. Obviously the type of houses to be built would be inappropriate to the area.
2. It is taking away green belt land when climate change is a major issue. Surely, there are plenty of unused brownfield sites within the black country area.
3. The land is currently well used by public for recreation

On a more practical note, I respectfully suggest that instead of just looking at plans, you visit Worcester Lane and observe the traffic especially at peak times. By increasing the size of the residential area as proposed would only add to the volume of traffic.

Furthermore, the 'already oversubscribed' local schools and doctors surgeries would not be bale to cope!!!

Some of the above issues are still being experienced as a result of the Cala Homes development in Hagley.
