2. The potential for a through road from the Ketley Quarry site (BCP REF 203) would create a cut through shortcut between Bromley Lane and the main Dudley Road via the Ploverdale/Sandpipers estate, which would likely cause a significant increase in traffic moving through the estate not only at peak times, but at all points throughout the day, and further problems leaving the estate at the Bromley Road junction. This would significantly increase traffic, and decrease road and pedestrian safety on the estate, especially at peak school times. No through road is mentioned within the Black Country plan, but it is indicated on the site plan submitted in planning application [xxx].

I do however support the development of houses on the Ketley Quarry site, as it's expected
this will decrease anti-social behaviour from individuals and groups unlawfully using the
quarry for recreation at present, and remove what is considered locally to be a considerable
eyesore, and also supports building on brownfield sites.

Standhills Road Open Space - DUH221

15. I object to building on the Standhills Road Open Space. This will be an important boundary corridor of green space when the Ketley Quarry site is built over, and if this open space is lost, all these housing estates will merge into one. Ketley Quarry will be bordered on the Eastern Side by Dawley Brook with a retained green corridor, and it should similarly be bordered on the Western Side.
