Policy WSA7 - Calderfields West, Aldridge Road, Walsall

1. Removal of Green Belt Land - vital for environment, wildlife etc. Removal will impact future generations, brownfield sites should be used instead.

2. Impact on local infrastructure - main and local roads. Local - buchanan road / aconile, cmeron road, fernleigh road are already heavily used - these are narrow residential roads and any additional traffic will cause delays tailbacks, etc (especially buchanan avenue). Main roads - A454 Melish Road / A461 Lichfield Road are very heavily used with regular tailbacks into Walsall. The addition of 442 new houses (and associated cars) will result in longer tailbacks, and frustrated drivers and bitd for the environment.
3. Local residents impact on residents in terms of construction traffic, potential loss of privacy and being overlooked. Loss of 'open space' feel to the area.
