Representation Summary:

SPECIFIC OBJECTIONS TO PLAN WSA3 LAND NORTH OF STONNALL ROAD ALDRIDGE -
This area of land is in full agricultural use and has been as long as can be remembered. It helps feed our ever growing population and reduces dependence on imported food. Agricultural land is valuable and can never be replaced on our small island.
Removal of this area of land from the existing agricultural use would reduce the viability of the remaining farmland leaving it prey to future urban sprawl.
Aldridge already has many issues with traffic, parking, provision of schools, doctors. Additional housing in the area would increase these problems.
