Re - Policy WSA7 - Calderfields West, Land at Aldridge Road, Walsall
I wish to object to the proposal to build housing at Calderfields West, Land at Aldridge Road, Walsall.
This development would be inappropriate and damaging. A development on this scale would be particularly unsuitable in such close proximity to the Conservation Area.
The development would spoil the open space character and landscape which contributes to the quality of the Arboretum, Walsall's historic flagship park.
It would adversely affect the residential amenity of neighbouring owners.
It would threaten wildlife.
It would put pressure on local infrastructure and generate increased traffic. The Mellish Road area is already becomoes very congested, and there is a significant problem with commuters using Fernleigh Road - Cameron Road - Buchanan Avenue as a "rat run" on their journey towards Walsall town centre.
There is likely to be loss of privacy and overlooking.
Brownfield sites and former industrial sites should accommodate housing building projects without the nee for the permanent destruction of precious green belt land.
