Representation Summary:

Re Black Country Plan - Home Farm, Sandhills Aldridge North & Walsall Wood

Traffic
Large increase in traffic from new homes on to already congested A461 +A452 particularly shire oak traffic lights.
Already many heavy lorries in and out of JPE Quarry which will be vastly exacerbated if building new homes!
Very busy road for school children at Shire Oak Academy already.

Schools
Schools in the area are already oversubscribed - where are huge numbers of additional children supposed to go?

Doctors
Very difficult to get a doctors appointment at the moment. Large additional numbers of patients would make this impossible!

Environment
There seems to be plenty of disused land/ Brownfield Sites in Walsall without destroying valuable ever shrinking

GreenBelt
We are being constantly told that we need to protect the trees and wildlife around us an you want to destroy 54ha in one area!
