TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN –
RE: VIEWS ON BLACK COUNTRY PLAN DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIONS
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 REQUEST
I am writing to inform you of our strong objection to the development proposed for site WAH231,
Sutton Road/Longwood Lane which is included in the above plan. We and other current owners
consisting of 50% of this site were never consulted about the proposed development and we oppose
the proposed development plan.
The site is clearly unsuitable for the planned development due to the following reasons;
Infrastructure issues
 Sutton Road unable to cope with the increased traffic.
 Any Longwood Lane access would cause further increased traffic congestion.
 Longwood Lane has no pedestrian/cycle access.
 Severe traffic congestion at Longwood Lane/Sutton Road Junction.
 No capacity for increase in pupils at existing local schools.
 Proposed dwellings per hectarc (dph) of 35 out of character with local area.
Health and Wellbeing
 Serious health risk to Sutton Road residents from increased traffic pollution and noise.
Especially concerned for my youngest son who has asthma and allergies.
 Increased stress to us and other residents on Sutton Road with the construction work and loss
of the Green Space surrounding us.
Environment
 Serious loss of wildlife habitat. WAH231 is a site of local importance for Nature Conservation
and should be protected.
Please can you take our concerns into account and reconsider the development for site WAH231 as it
also goes against the loss of the SLINC/Green Belt goes against the conservative, local and combined
authority pledge to protect them.
We and others voted for you because this pledge promised protection for our Greenbelt/SLINC. We
count on your support for removing this site from the Black Country Plan.
Yours Sincerely
