I am writing to you to object to the plans under the Black Country Plan as per subject. The above plans will have a devastating effect on the environment, services and transport structure in the immediate area.
There have been sightings of protected species of [redacted] in the proposed area adjacent to the Arboretum, this area of green belt is the only area of the park with open fields and animal grazing views.
It is also a wildlife corridor for all types of wild animals and birds including [redacted].
This number of homes proposed will add at leased 600 extra vehicles 1200 journeys a day plus service vehicles journeys, this will add to the congestion already experienced in the area. Traffic stretches through the estate as they try to bypass the congestion going on to the island at Mellish Road and Lichfield Road.
The roads adjacent to the proposed site particularly Buchanan road with storm water drainage and blockages to the foul sewers.
