Respondent: Mr Phil Withers

I wish to object to the proposed green field housing developments outlined in the Black COuntry site assessment report (The Triangle - SA-0025-DUD) as well as all the other green field developments outlined in the report for Wall Heath and Kingswinford.

As it stands, the area and road network is not fit for purpose and the development of the outlined further dwellings will create major issues on the highways of Kingswinford around the triangle and wall heath.

I also object as do not believe our current Council services (NHS, dentists, policy, waste collection and schools) have the spare capacity to absord such growth in potential dwelling numbers and the people who would live in them.

I also object due to mental health reasons. The triangle and all other green spaces within kingswinford and wall heath allow for a great many people to releave stress and other potential mental health issues. without these locals spaces, i fear many more people would need NHS support at a cost to the Council and us as tax payers which is not economically viable when other brown field sites are still available.

Finally, I object for environmental reasons. Our green belt is more important now than ever and the Council with its net zero targets should be doing everything in its power to preserve and protect every blade of grass and tree within the Borough, rather than pouring cement on what we have left.
