I am objecting the plans put forward to build on greenbelt land around Aldridge/ Shelfield , particulary the plans to build a large housing estate at the back of Coronation road/ Mob lane.
The countryside feilds and paths are used by a large number of people daily for recreation and walking routes, providing a beautiful habit for wildlife.
The local area already experiences busy roads during peak times, backing up traffic on the Lichfield road and Mill road, additional dwellings/ residents would only add to traffic, poloution and pressure on resources, do the local GPs/ Schools and other facilities have space to accomadate over 700 people ?
House prices for the surrounding homes would be lowered due to a massive council housing estate being built on their back door, something which i feel is completley unfair. People have chosen to live in the area to be close to countryside, many living there for most of their life, now people are considering selling up to avoid being close to the proposed estate.
The building plans are damaging to the community and most of all the environment, what plans do you have to accomadate all the exisiting wildlife ?
The local riding school, " Stevie Ansells" which supports many disadvantages and special needs children also uses the land around the Ackers which would be distrupted for building works.
In my eyes there is absoloutley no good that will come from building on the land, it would be a crying shame to loose the local countryside that so many inclduing myself enjoy. I personally feel it would have a detrimental impact on mine and so many others mental health to build such a large housing estate on unspoilt countryside that has been an integeral part of life to the residents of Shelfield,Pelsall and Walsall Wood.
