Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 12818

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Mr Jonathan Evans

Representation Summary:

The road network in and around Kingswinford and Wall Heath is not able to cope with existing traffic levels, especially at peak times. Emergency vehicles already use the A449 between Wall Heath and Stourbridge rather than the A491. Traffic travelling along the A449 into Wall Heath from Stourbridge backs up beyond the junction with the B4178 where your strategy indicates that between 100 and 300 homes is a good idea. Congestion, polution, erosion of green belt. "It's only 3%". Concentrate on the 97% brownfield sites, then see where you are in 2038.
