Respondent: Mr Jason Kitson

Representation Summary:

I wish to object to the building of houses on the proposed sites
BCP Ref DUH 216 Bryce Road (Green Space)
BCP Ref DUH 222 Severn Drive (Green Space)
BCP Ref DUH 213 Lapwood Ave (Green Space)
BCP Ref 203 Ketley Quarry (Policy DSA3)

1. Traffic impact on all four sites
2. Effect on road safety again on Lapwood - Bryce Rd and on Severn Drive
3. Effect on school admissions for all areas concerned
4. The effect it will have on the NHS (hospital) (one only). Not enough local doctors or dentists in the local areas. Residents are now being forced to travel further to get access for care.
5. Effect on mental health. Severn Drive is flat for people of all ages to walk - run - play on. Mayflower Drive - Derwent Close make up a 1/4 of the space, neither terrain or shape is viable for any activities. Neither of these sites were large enough to be audited in the open space review 2017.
6. Loss of biodiversity. owls, foxes & other numerous species of birds.
7. Traffic infrastructure cannot cope now - check traffic on high st Pensnett between 3:30pm - 5:30pm and 7:30am till 9:00am it's chocka-block.
