Representation Summary:

The Triangle and Holbeache Proposed Developments.

We OBJECT to the proposals.
We have not been given, in a coherent form, details of the origin, location of and type of housing demand that these developments seek to satisfy.

The proposals to build adjacent to Kingswinford and Wall Heath are irresponsible given the current traffic queues on A449, A491, A4101, B4175 and B4178.

The B4178 (Swindon Road) has become a bypass for Stallings Lane traffic lights and other controls on A491, allowing HGVs and other traffic to approach Dudley and the Trading Estates via A4101(Summerhill/ High St). Cot Lane continues the "bypass" to the Wordsley traffic lights for other vehicles.

If the developments were to proceed, the queues will obviously grow longer and result in even poorer air quality and additional noise and health risk for residents.

Other infrastructure problems, which currently exist and will be exacerbated, are waiting times at Russells Hall Hospital, GP availability and the continued building of homes near to the edges of DudleyMB by South Staffs.
