Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 11988

Received: 10/10/2021

Respondent: Mr Alan Wheatley

Representation Summary:

I fully object to the proposals due to the negative impact on local infrastructures and services. The A449 is already struggling with traffic. Commuting would be intolerable and access from Maidensbridge estate impossible. The impact on GPs, schools, traffic, pollution, wildlife and mental health would be detrimental. In addition to South Staffs plans, Wall Heath would no longer be a village. Brownfield development has not been fully utilised. We should be protecting our greenbelt, not building on it so excessively. The A449 simply cannot cope with the additional traffic and impact of building works on local residents would be detrimental.
