This scheme places short-term profit over quality of life and longer-term public interest in almost every respect.
'High value' housing an attractive green spaces are a further step in urban sprawl when priorities are affordable housing and the reclaiming of the many empty brownfield sites in this sector of the conurbation.
The infrastructure is inadequate already, especially regarding roads and traffic congestion. How many more vehicles will 533 new houses add to congestion and daily gridlock at peak hours (not forgetting Stallings Lane and Ketley Quarry plans)?
Air quality is supported to be a major consideration currently.
What provision is there for school places? Doctors' surgeries in the area are already over-subscribed and struggling.
This green belt area is important to the local population, loved and appreciated by them and a legacy which should be handed on, not destroyed for ever for short-term commercial reasons.
