I totally object to building houses on the plot of Calderfields Farm, Walsall.
Traffic is already horrendous even after highway improvements. If you add 400+ houses which means an extra 400-800 cars, then it is going be even worse. The smallest of roadworks or incident and the traffic even at quiet times gets very bad. Also the USP's of living in this area will be diminished leaving the ones already living here with houses which for me would be decreased in value as USP of this quiet area would have gone. People enjoy the farm from the footpath between Argyle road and Mellish road as well as the Arboretum. By building on this plot you really are destroying the only place of outside enjoyment in Walsall.
The Streetly site and Pheasey Park farm would be far better alternatives to the Calderfields site. In particular Streetly as the roads around there are wider and in some cases two lanes either way.
