WAH234 GB1 Land between Queslett
Road, Doe Bank Lane and
Aldridge Road, Pheasey
Neighbourhood
Strategic Allocation Policy WSA8

The selected land is currently "Green Belt" and has been for many years. Allowing development of housing on such scale or any at all will cause major infrastructure issues along with impacts of biodiversity to an area that has been left as natural land and utilised for farming use ever since the suburban areas that surround the land was originally constructed in the 50's.

To remove the green belt status would have impacts to the local environment and its purpose to separate differing wards preventing urban sprawl infact it will have the opposite effect of causing urban sprawl.

Currently the area cannot cope with the traffic on Queslett Road East which has speeding and accident problems the introduction of a large housing estate and the extra volume of vehicles would only compound this not to mention the environmental impact to the area of all the extra vehicles and associated emissions.

Local residents on Aldridge Road, Doe Bank Lane and Queslett Road have invested in properties which part of their buying decisions were based on the "green belt" area and locality as countryside space that sits on the edge of a large city and other urban areas.

Allowing such a large development to be under construction to be delivered by 2039 will cause massive intrusion to resident's daily lives with all the disruptive issues such a construction site would bring in terms of noise and heavy goods traffic
