REF - WAH242 (policy WSA7) - Calderfields West, land at Aldridge Road
I write to strongly object to building residential houses at the above location. I am a resident of
Buchanan Road of 6 years. The main reason I acquired the house was:
1- its location (near the Walsall Arboretum)
2 - its a no through road at the end of Buchanan Road and most importantly
3 - the view and open space around the area in question.
I have friends and relatives from Leamington, Wirral and Kensington who absolutely love that part
of the park and the farm (and its animals and wildlife).
By building houses you are spoling and destryoing one of the best parts of Walsall that remains
untouched and natural. It will also take away the attraction of the park around that area and make it
look closed.
During the lock down, the public in thousands used that area of the park due to the open space to
de-stress and relax. The rest of the park does not have the same view and is more populated.
There are plenty of Brownfield sites in Walsall and areas of Walsall that need developing more than
the Calderfield farms.
Also, especially on weekends and evenings, there are many cars on Buchanan Road due to park
traffic. By making Buchanan Road a through road will generate too much traffic, risk of accidents
(people and children coming from the park) and excessive pollution (on a small road).
I should be grateful if you could consider the above.
Regards
Mr K Singh
