Site number WAH/238 WAH240 (Coronation Road/ Mob Lane) Aldridge North and Walsall Wood

The proposal to build 763 on green belt land in Coronation Road / Mob lane has not been properly thought through. In this area we have Ormiston Shelfield Community Academy and anyone who lives adjacent or near the school will be able to confirm how the nearby roads of Broadway and Coronation Road are congested at school run times.
I do not think that the transport infrastructure in this area could cope with the extra demand. The added burdern to other amenities for schools, doctors, dentists etc for 763 potential extra families would have to be met.
The added pressure of traffic on Green Lane (which already has traffic calming measures) would be increased greatly. This is because Green Lane leads to the Black Lock bridge and it is totally unacceptable for construction traffic to use this bridge over the canal. Finally this area of planned housing is a wildlife corridor to coppice wood which is a place frequented by dog walkers. There would be a considerable loss of habitat for wildlife if the land was used for housing.
