In regard to farmland on Stonnal Road that you wish to build on.... I OBJECT!
I live just off Stonnal Road with my garden looking onto the fields that you seem content with destroying!
I have lived in this house for 10 years and every morning I always sit in the garden with a coffee to enjoy
the peace & the nature come rain or shine - this is one of the main reasons we chose this house, not only
for the lovely area it is situated in but for the views that come with it.
With the plans you are proposing, not only will you destroy the beautiful land itself, but you will also
destroy my morning routine which in turn will have a negative impact on my mental health & physical
wellbeing.
And it's not only my morning routine that will have a negative impact on my health - you will also
significantly devalue the cost of the property and diminish the liveability as we will no longer have the
beautiful, peaceful scenery that we have enjoyed every day for the past 10 years.
Building a brand new housing estate is no quick fix, this will go on for years and years meaning we will have
to put up with constant trucks back & forth, constant noises from machinery and builders, constant dust &
dirt being moved around - this will not only affect myself but many others in the area including children &
even more so the elderly. This is a quiet area of Aldridge and many elderly people have chosen to live here
for this very reason to see out their retirement - have you thought about the detriment you will cause to
these people's health & wellbeing?
Let's move away from the negative impact you will be causing to humans and talk about the irreversible
damage to the earth you wish to cause…
Tearing up the designated green belt, the farmers land where crops can grow, the home to a number of
trees that produce oxygen and wildlife that have called this home probably for longer than we have lived -
all of this you are happy to destroy? And for what? To build more houses so you have more money in your
pocket! What about the money you will be taking out of local residents pockets?
What about all the abandoned & disused buildings across the country that are sitting there empty &
deteriorating - why can't you look into reusing these buildings rather than tearing up a new space?
You do realise we are currently in the worst state of global warming that we have ever been in?
And do you realise that what you are proposing to do is only going to cause more damage when we should
all be thinking about ways to save this earth!
You have already taken the land on Bosty Lane and by the airport for new accommodation. Building has
already started by The Dilke pub and on the Mellish Road, more buildings on the Walsall Wood Road - how
many more Greenacres do you wish to take from us & generations yet to come?
I understand population is growing, but is this really your ONLY option?
Or is this just the option that will generate you more money with no regards to the people who live and
work in the area, the future people who will live in this area, and the world we all live in!
We have just been through a global pandemic that has caused so many lost jobs, loss of money, loss of
family! You plan to come along and cause another loss to many people; what impact do you think this will
have on mental health & wellbeing? Is this something you have even thought about?
I absolutely object to any planning applications you submit, I will be signing any & all petitions to stop this
as well as asking all of my friends and family. I have no problem talking to the local MP & media if this
situation continues to grow.
