I am objecting strongly to the two above proposed sites for the following reasons:-
1. Loss og reen belt. Once destroyed it can never be replaced. During the pandemic it has been a haven for many residents.
2. Many brownfield sites are available and should be the obvious choice.
3. Environment/congestion, The road congestion in Wordsley & Kingswinford is awful as it stands. The pollution in Wordsley High Street is currently the worst and will only deteriorate further! There is no room to improve or expand carriageways!!
4. Pressure on NHS/Education will be intolerable as it is already over-stretched.
5. There is already a vast number of houses built on Himley View, Ridgehill & Plans for Ketley Quarry. The area cannot accommodate anymore.
6. Building to the edge of South Staffs border will then give South Staffs council an opportunity to build further green belt land around Ridgehill Woods.
