My objections are as follows:
1) Green belt land such as this should not be built on as it will be detrimental to the surrounding area and remove open spaces for residents to benefit from.
2) The building of 592 properties will have a negative impact as it will be out of keeping with the existing area. A housing density of 35 is more than 3 times that of the immediate area.
3) This number of properties will come with more than 600 vehicles which will place an inordinate strain on the existing highways infrastructure. The A454 (Mellish road/ Aldridge road) and A461 (Lichfield road) will not be able to cope with the extra traffic generated. At peak times, the use of Buchanan Road would create excessive congestion at it's junction with Mellish Road.
