Representation Summary:

Having been a home owner since 1979 at 124, lichfield rd sandhills it has always been a bone of contention that home farm agricultural land would be developed on, first was Modwen developments going to develop a science park / industrial estate, and now 800 houses on a 54 hectare site. My objection for this development is based purely on the road system it is without doub't already creaking on the A461 with Sandhills seeing traffic congestion for long periods of the day cueing back to the dual carrageway upto Shire oak traffic lights, with over the years many traffic accidents my house being involved in one of them when a car carrered of the road ending up in my front room. And just when you think the road system can take no more the council decides to add 800 hundred homes, with most likely an extra 1000 plus vehicles added to to the road on sandhills. So without a major bypass of the already congested road I strongly object to this 800 house development.
