I write to object to the proposal to build houses at Calderfields – Aldridge Road and Sutton Road/ Longwood lane

The development would result in the character of the are changing significantly and the green belt on the border between Aldridge and Walsall being lost and their being a significant loss to the wildlife on the proposed sites.

The character and landscape would change significantly with any proposed development which would have a detrimental affect to the Arboretum and result in a rise in pollution with the increase in people and traffic as a result of any development – this would affect wildlife and the plant habitation of the Arboretum

The drainage and sewerage of any proposed sites would be problematic as the current resident of the sites have constant issues with flooding and would also cause pollution to the Arboretum due to the height of the water level of the land

Any development would affect the amenity and cause significant disruption to those currently resident in the area and the increase in traffic would result in there being increases risk to the elderly and young who live and walk in the area surrounding the proposed site

The result of Covid has increased the need to have green areas and sites- these sites have served such a purpose for over 100 years

There are more suited Brownfield sites in the Walsall area which could be developed for Housing purposes
