Representation Summary:

Regarding: Proposed development site on the Home farm, Sandhills, Walsall Wood WS9 9DJ.
I purchased this property at inflated price for the view and the wildlife, we frequently have bats, deer, buzzards and many other creatures which would be driven out. Roads around the area are already extremely busy with Shire oak school and the quarry as well as through traffic with the Lichfield rd being the main route from Walsall to the A5/A38.The junction of Chester rd/Lindon rd by the Anchor public house is also extremely busy. The Chester rd (A452) has recently had two serious motorcycle accidents ,and not so long ago a child was hit and killed. Giving up much needed farmland for housing is ridiculous when there are so many other sites that are not being used for anything. I understand the land in question is owned by a property management company who obviously want to make a killing. This country needs to produce more and import less in my opinion.
