Dear Sir,
I am writing to express my clear objection to the proposal to build 800+ new houses
on two sites in Wall Heath. The resulting huge increase in population and traffic
cannot be sustained, and the relatively small village nature of Wall Heath will be
completely overwhelmed, as well as destroying much valued green belt land enjoyed
by many.
The daily increase in cars alone, especially those travelling towards Wolverhampton
or Birmingham would make it difficult for us in Heathbrook Avenue to emerge on to
the A449 at all!
Lack of parking and facilities in the centre of Wall Heath could not possibly support
this proposed increase, and would just destroy the nature of it.
The construction of so many new homes cannot be carried out without the necessary
infrastructure; where are the required school places coming from? Local schools are
already operating beyond capacity, as are local Doctors' surgeries. We all know that
services will be choked to the detriment of all who already live here.
In my view, such a proposal is utter madness. Clearly, there has to be further housing
provision, but does it have to be done by severely reducing the quality of life for
everyone else?
