Representation Summary:

SA-0199-DUD / BCP REF DUH222 – Severn Drive [Green space]
I strongly wish to register my objection to the building of houses on Severn Drive, Brierley Hill.
1. More housing will overcrowd the area , overcrowding leads to increase in spread of disease !
Particularly relevant given the recent COVID pandemic .
2. 2 invaluable green sites / play areas / open spaces will be lost forever to the local community.
3. There will be a drastic increased demand in already overstretched Emergency services
4. Increased demand in already overfill schools , doctors , dentists , hospital services
5.increased accident risk , particularly at Bryce road , but also at Corbyns Hall road which is already
a risk as people double park or park in considerately .
6.We have an active bat community on Severn Drive
7.Loss of green spaces will
Mean there is nowhere local for neighbouring housing estates to bring children to play .
8. Loss of space for community events
9. Increased demand in sewage pipes
10. Tree preservation orders on existing trees , what will happen to those trees ?
11. This proposal is already affecting this community’s mental health , our Community are
anxious and upset about the possibility of losing this space .
12. We should not have to fight to retain already sparce green space !
13.increased pollution Locally from all the extra traffic .
14 Extra traffic on already full roads !
15. Dramatically Changing the landscape of Severn Drive , which has always been a quite highly
sought after cul de sac
16. We currently have the pleasure of a highly reputable local businessman who trains his dogs to
enter the world renown Crufts competition - it is a sight to behold where would he go ??
17.We regularly see while families who use this green space to play and have fun
18.loss of dog walking green space would mean an increase in dog fouling on the footpaths !
19. An increase in houses will
Mean and increase in noise!
20 increased community conflicts
21.loss of our beautiful view .
22.loss of Light !
