1/ Green Belt land is far to valuable to be used for building, as this can never be reclaimed
2/ Local infrastructure can't cope with extra traffic, extra gas, electric, water and waste requirements, schools + doctors are at near full capacity as are hospitals.
3/ 900+ homes represents at todays occupancy 2 cars per house minimum, totally unacceptable
4/ insufficient truly "affordable housing" and "social housing" is included so building is purely for the rich, elite, and purely for profit not to provide the housing that is actually needed.
5. local roads are subject to excessive delays, gridlock, nose to tail traffic due to school runs, work sun etc on a daily basis. An event at Himley Hall will grid lock the A449 back towards Kidderminster within minutes
6. once you permit building on green belt land this will open up the flood gates for every get rich quick developer to make huge profits at residents expense. They are noted for the "affordable homes" to be brought "off plan" and mysteriously "sold on" at huge profits 12 to 18 months later. Some never actually having a resident or being on short term rent, no permanent resident. A definite rule bending exercise.
7) Little or no provision for public transport improvements and a viable and actual working acceptable alternative to main car transport. Basically the roads are too small to carry the traffic and no space exists on brownfield sites to build entire roads.
8, the resulting extra pollution and environmental damage will be unsustainable and unrecoverable from
9. only the rich will benefit and that extra money will not filter down to the local economy but moved away to London and abroad benefiting only the profiteering of the rich
10. How are you going to re-charge 2000+ new electric cars on the proposal plus provided charging points for the existing local residents as most houses do not have off road parking. Residents now have great difficulty in parking during the day due to influx of non resident parking in the side streets causing mayhem, Do you want the pavement charging point outside your house so you cant park - a knock on effect
