Site: Area of land between Lazy Hill Road and Stonnal Road belonging to Birch Farm Aldridge.
1. Use of green belt field site instead of brownfield. This adds urban sprawl to what is a village.
2. There will be a large increase in traffic use on Leighswood avenue on their way to Aldridge. This avenue is barely adequate for the current traffic flow, particularly at school starting / ending times. Extra traffic at these times will make it almost impossible to use and potentially dangerous for young children. Similarly, traffic travelling to Little Aston road will use Noddy Park Road. This road is very narrow and is likely to be accident prone.
3. There will be a large increase in traffic using Stonall Road, the stretch of this road between Malvern Drive and Walsall Wood Road is narrow and it would appear that there is not enough space to widen it.
4. There is a limited amount of motorists parking space in Aldridge. The extra number of vehicles that will enter aldridge are likely to park in public highways causing frustration to pedestrians and house holders, create traffic holdups and possible accidents.
5. Will the local infrastructure cope with the significant increase of people particularly infant/ junior schools? Senior school places could also be a problem.
6. Currently the Aldridge shopping centre is small but adequate for existing residents, will it be able to cope with the extra footfall from the increased number of people from the assumed extra 400 homes?
