Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 14784

Respondent: Mrs Joanne Gainey

Representation Summary:

I am responding to the Black Country Plan for housing and the city of Wolverhampton draft plan consultation for housing. I am objecting to the plan B Fallings Park Strategic Allocation.
I object to this because:
Building housing on Wood Hayes Road (labelled 'Wood end road') would create a worse bottle neck of traffic than at present for residents of W'ton trying to reach the M6 and M54. This would increase congestion and journey ties for me and make my journey to work more stressful.
I also object to building on greenbelt as this amenity improves my quality of life and well-being - I do not want any of this building working stretching onto land on Linthouse Lane. I have especially valued this farmland and walking on the public footpaths for my mental wellbeing during lockdowns. Once this greenbelt is built on, we can never get it back. New housing should be on brownfield sites.
