(WAH236 and WAH238)

I object to the proposal to build 1343 houses on Greenbelt land in Pelsall and Shelfield.

These small villages are already struggling to accommodate the new estates built over the last 20 years and the addition of so many properties and people would overwhelm the existing infrastructure in terms of roads, schools, doctors, dentists etc.
There is already grid locked situations at the Fingerpoint traffic lights and the lights in the middle of Pelsall common in the mornings and afternoon from 3pm until after 6pm.
The proposed larger Bridge at Yorks Bridge will only add to this because it will allow larger lorries to pass through Pelsall.
There are brownfield sites available in the area that should be used before encroaching into the precious green belt land.
