The visual amenity + character of the area would dramatically change. It is useful agricultural land graded 3 and above.
Increase in light pollution in a much needed area of tranquillity. Poorer air quality of adjoining residents + wider area, particularly from increased in traffic. Impact of building from construction noise + traffic. Unsafe for nearby school. Increasing numbers of vehicles will mean increased pollution, road safety consequences. Lack of public transport already. Poor rail access. Time taken to reach rail network to Wolv/ Bham is much longer than 30 mins and when you eventually get to Stourbridge junction, even overflow carpark cannot accommodate vehicles which flow onto nearby streets! Highways will need a new road infrastructure. Commute from Wall Heath during busy periods is horrendous. Even after new Pensnett road system it is bumper to bumper every morning! Hansen rate this area as having the worst commuting score from homes to places of employment. More houses will only increase this traffic, making commuting even more of a nightmare! Flooding... this weekends rain saw A449 island (Swindon Road) flooded, cars having to mount kerbs to go around it, endangering pupil's safety walking to school. If houses were to be built on the triangle, some serious road changes would need to be adapted. HIGHWAY MAJOR ISSUES !!!
