1. Traffic
The volume of traffic through Kingswinford is already problematic. At peak times trying to exit from the Valley Fields estate is very difficult. A substantial increase in traffic would be inevitable and unsuitable.
2. Amenity Value
The greenbelt areas are an important facet of the local area. No development of such spaces should be considered. Once lost it is gone for good. Building on the land in the triangle on the A449 will destroy the character of Kingswinford and Wall Heath. Additionally, there are trees on the area already protected by preservation orders. The loss of these would be another act of environmental vandalism.
This amenity must be retained and protected for future generations.
There are alternate sites which must be used before destroying greenbelt sites.
