Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 14271

Received: 23/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Keith Clapham

Representation Summary:

WAH234 GB1 Land between Queslett Road, Doe Bank Lane and Aldridge Road, Pheasey Neighbourhood Strategic Allocation Policy WSA8

1. The open fields on this application act as a flood plain for the surrounding area, due to global warming and the change in weather conditions, this has become more noticeable, the lower fields towards the Queslett Rd are becoming flooded when we have heavy rain. Also the Aldridge Road from the Hundred Acre Road down to Queslett Rd becomes a river as the existing Storm Water/Sewerage System is unable to cope. This will become a lot worse if the proposed development takes place.
2. The Local GP Services/Schools/Fire and Ambulance services will be unable to cope unless a major investment takes place.
3.The Aldridge Rd becomes Grid Locked several times a day due to the current traffic load, this will become a serious situation if the Development takes place without major road improvement for the area.
4.The Development will destroy an area of natural beauty/wildlife also degrade local environment for the existing residents.
5. As all our elected officials MP's & Councillors are against this development, also it would appear the majority of the local residents. Would be far more sensible to develop the Brown Sites that the Black Country has available and not destroy an area of Green Belt enjoyed by many and future generations
