Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 12265

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Mr Dennis Passmore

Representation Summary:

Having lived in [personal details redacted] for almost fifty years, I was horrified to learn that Dudley MBC are contemplating building houses on the green spaces adjacent to Severn Drive and Butterfield Road. (DUH222)
The pure logistics of this proposal shows that it is not viable. Access for construction materials, plant and contractors vehicles must be via Corbyns Hall Lane, Corbyns Hall Rd or Comber Drive, which are already accident black spots.
The sheer misery of this construction to the residents would be unforgiveable. These green spaces are essential, being used by children of all ages for different activities, dog walkers and the general interaction of all residents in the area, which provides both physical and mental well being to everyone.
Extra houses would impact on our already under pressure GP's, hospitals, schools and traffic problems.
The avenue of trees on Severn Drive provide cover for bats, owls and hawks and it would be a great pity to destroy this oasis.
Your help in preventing this development would be greatly appreciated.
