I am objecting to the housing allocation to the Brandhall Gold Course as proposed on the Sandwell map of the Black Country Plan (BCP).
As you can see on the Sandwell map, this area is heavily populated anyway and have very limited green space in comparison to other areas of the county.
If you take this space away, where am I going to go to breath fresh air, admire the beautiful nature which is present in this space. Where are children who live in a heavily populated urban environment going to experience and learn about nature.
The local General Practitioners (GP) surgeries are full to capacity, and have to wait 3 weeks to see a GP, if you can get through to speak to a receptionist in the first instance. I have called my GP surgery 40 times in 1 hour to speak with a receptionist, and did not get through.
The local road system is at full capacity and have queues daily on the Wolverhampton Road, Brook Road and Pound Road. The Wolverhampton Road already has dangerous sections with various roads leading off this, if you add more homes to the community, more lives are going to be in danger.
The transport network of buses and trains are full now, how are you expected to use transport if more people live in this community.
One point that continues to be overlooked, Brandhall Golf Course and the surrounding area will flood. When it rains now, the roads and golf course drainage system waster rises and struggles to deal with the amount of water. Where will this water go?
Please do not develop the one site of natural beauty away from me, my family and the community.
