I object in the strongest possible terms to the use of Greenbelt land for development and hence conurbations in this case the West Midlands, being expanded. Green space is essential for farming, well-being, nature and recreation as well as being a boundary for the present conurbation.
I am very concerned about the ability of the A449 to cope with extra traffic on an already over stretched capacity. Any vehicle breakdown or road accident (breakdown, accident, resurfacing etc) causes massive disruptions as there is not a viable parallel alternative resulting in extra traffic within the conurbation (Kingswinford, Wordsley, Wallheath) or on the rural fringe on roads which are not designed to cope with such traffic (limited to a band bordered by the Staffs/ Worcs canal to the west and the conurbation to the east). Construction traffic would make this worse in the development phase
