Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 14059

Received: 19/09/2021

Respondent: Arthur Roberts

Representation Summary:

The areas indicated for development in Pelsall are unable to support and increase of up to 1300 new families. The infrastructure is not in place to support these families by way of things like education, all three local primary schools are at full capacity and St Michaels school has just gone from 1.5 form entry to 2 form entry and is already full.The area designated as Yorks Bridge is flanked on one side with what is designated an urban trunk road, Lime Lane, about to be upgraded with a new canal bridge and operating on the South Staffs border side with a 50MPH speed limit. New access points along this side would create a safety hazzard. Similarly the side flanked by the Lichfield Road is a very busy urban trunk with a great deal of heavy lorry traffic, again access points to the new properties could be hazardous. The existing estate near the fingerpost junction was not allowed access from this road, only and emergency gated off access point.
If these proposals proceed willthere be an opportunity to object at a local planning level?
