Representation ID: 12506

Respondent: Mr ian Fradgley

Representation Summary:

I object to the proposed development at Holbeache and the 'Triangle' for the following reasons.

1) The local area infrastructure (schools/doctors/dentists/hospitals) are struggling with current loads and will not cope with additional housing.
2) The local road network is at breaking point. At rush hour it can take up to 1/2 hour to get from one end of Stallings lane to the other. Travel from kford to Stourbridge is also much slower. The additional housing at the top of Stallings lane has had an adverse effect on travelling, which will be exacerbated when the proposed Ibstock development is completed.
3) Loss of green areas, the fields, Holbeache and Triangle give much needed fresh air (except when the wind blows from the Himley tip. If I wanted to live in the middle of mass housing, I would have moved to Whithymore on Milking Bank.
