Draft Consultation Plan - Proposal Home Farm, Sandhills, Walsall Wood WS9 9DJ.

My bungalow backs on to the beautiful land currently being used as farmland (Home Farm). I purchased this property specifically for the view, tranquility and wildlife. This was the main incentive to move here.
We have bats, deer, buzzards and many other wildlife which would be endangered by this development. Should this development go ahead the value of my property would be adversely affected so I would be unable to move somewhere else and enjoy this benefit.

The main roads surrounding the proposed development are already under pressure and unable to cope with traffic - there are children already at risk when crossing these busy roads who would be further impacted by an increase in residents on the proposed site.

The emergency services are already struggling to get through the traffic and this is impacting on patient safety - imagine the extra pressure this development would have on them.

I was only made aware of the proposals yesterday and yet the deadline for comment is 11th October - many neighbours are oblivious and so their objections will not be counted.

No consideration for house price depreciation, noise, traffic, loss of views etc.
