3. Whereas 9 other proposed sites display the number of homes to be built with regard to the Streetly site, WAH254 in particular, there is no indication of how many might be built or what type, flats, bungalows, semi-detached etc. By comparing the size of the sites, there could be 400 — 500 homes — potentially 2,000 residents.
4. The increased traffic on Chester Road will have a considerable impact. Traffic will come from the quarry, Pacific Nurseries and at least two roads serving the new homes.
5. The proposed sites will entail felling a substantial number of mature trees in the established wooded area behind the properties of Lindrosa Road. These trees help attenuate noise from the railway travelling to established properties as well as providing a long-term wildlife habitat.
6. School places, doctors' surgeries and even Streetly Community Centre are all under pressure with the current level of housing. We do not have any guide that these problems are being addressed.
7. There can be flooding towards Wheats Garden Centre so, has the siting of sewage and drainage facilities been investigated particularly for area WAH230? Building houses here will exacerbate an already marshy area with drainage only available into Footherley Brook. This will increase the likelihood of flash flooding in this already wet area. It could well impact on existing housing in the A454 Aldridge Road and Foothertey Brook Road area.
8. The railway runs along a raised embankment bordering sites WAH 246 and WAH 230 which will promote the noise of the railway to travel across to any new homes.
