REF WAH242 (policy WSA7) Calderfields, Aldridge Road

I am writing with reference to the above planning application to build over 500 new homes.
I live very close to this new development and am very concerned and give my reasons below.

1. Spoil the ‘open space ‘character and landscape which also contributes to the quality of the Arboretum, the towns Historic Flagship park.
2. Adversely affect the residential amenity of neighbouring owners.
3. Threaten wildlife, damage to natural environment.
4. Put pressure on infrastructure and generate increased traffic and increased pollution.
5. Cause loss of privacy and overlooking.
6. Loss of heritage.
7. Loss of natural land to absorb rainfall increasing risk of flooding.
8. Development is out of character with surrounding area.

Obviously I am very much opposed to this new development and ask you to take into consideration the views of the people it affects.
