Representation Summary:

I want to object to the proposed housing on Pheasey Estate on Doe Bank RD

Me and my Family object because:
To build 960 houses would just increase air pollution from all the extra cars going past our house most houses have 2 cars ,so all that extra air pollution and traffic. The impact on the landscape and all the birds and wildlife it is going to affect. All the hedge rows that are going to be removed will be devrestating ,all the animals and insects
would be gone,lost forever.

In the pandemic we have found so much joy in our green belt and parkland area , not having to drive to see wildlife, this is NOT increasing our carbon footprint.

Why oh Why do you not use brown belt areas first before you use green belt.

The roads around bridle lane and doe bank lane will have to be widened to cope with extra traffic,you said it would not be disturbed ,but its going to have to , because of all the traffic we will be getting. how are these juntions going to cope with the extra influx of traffic,especially at dangerous juntions. Beacon rd/Bridle Way.

We havent got enough schools ,doctors ,hospitals to cope with the extra demand it will bring to our area, you cannot get to see a doctor now ,so what going to happen then.
Why has the doe bank lane developement had an allocation of 22% of the required total build in our
borough,this is an unfair proportion .

The goverment are very wrong to ask individual councils to meet housing quota,we have very limited green areas in walsall,soon we will not have any left. As soon as this land goes ,it wont be long before all the fields will be gone ,we chose to live on the pheasey because of all the green space to bring up a family, a countryside within walking distance, wildlife on our doorstep ,i hope you take my points into consideration.
