Respondent: Ben and Carole Nunn

Representation Summary:

i wish to object to the plan for sites WAH234 and WAH246. The sites are on Green Belt land and according to the National Policy Framework published 27-3-2012 and updated 20/7/21 specifically paragraphs 137 to 151 inclusive and paragraphs 140 and 147 in particular Green Belt land once built on can never be replaced.
The sites are existing productive arable farm land at the edge of the Walsall Council Area bordering a very busy A4041 dual carriageway.
The site is overlooked by Barr Beacon Nature Reserve with views across to Birmingham , building on this land would adversely affect the Nature Reserve.
All local schools, Linders, Manor, Blackwood and St Annes primary schools and the Streetly Academy are already over-subscribed.
There does not appear to be provision for additional schools or Doctors surgeries are similarly at full capacity.
The site to the north of pacific Nurseries is situated between a Railway line and a busy A452 road without adequate public transport links and one and a half miles from the closest school, doctors surgery and amenities. Building will inevitably add to further traffic congestion, pollution and further con of wildlife habitat
