Sutton Road/Longwood Lane/ Pheasey Park Farm
Black Country Plan proposal
In general, I oppose the Proposal. I have two prime objections.
I. Environment
The extensive rural area between Sutton Road and the northwestern horizon has been cherished over many generations by Walsall Councils. [Redacted-GDPR], when I moved into my present home [Redacted-GDPR], I was told that it had a 'white' status (beyond 'green'). In recent years it has become decidedly more 'green' in character and has more wild life.. The current proposal 'nibbles' at its unique status.
The owner of the land [Redacted-GDPR] does not wish to sell. The manner in which she has been deliberately misquoted is disturbing.
2. Traffic
If new housing proceeded, each house would have 1-2 cars. The related introduction of one or more road entrances to these houses would put extra pressure on the local traffic situation, particularly in Longwood Lane. This route to the motorways is used by HGVs from
Aldridge. In rush hours on weekdays traffic is very slow-moving at its junction with Sutton Road. An additional entrance point would obviously complicate and aggravate the situation.
Sutton Road and Mellish Road are attractive routes into Walsall.
The proposed housing would transform and jeopardise their future appearance.
