1) Worcester Lane (Ref: DUH206, DUH207, DUH209)

There is obvious Traffic + Transport hazards - Local roads are congested at rush hour + Stourbridge junction + Hagley services are congested (including the overflow at SBJ) often by 9am weekdays.
Our towns _ villages cannot cope with the increase in populous - as well as our already stretched schools, doctors + dentists. Local bus/rail services are unable to cope at present. How will they cope with 200+ more residents? The Worcester Lane site is a gateway to footpaths + bridleways, an increase in traffic on these narrow + winding roads will detract from the area, create more fumes and pollution impacting on ancient wildlife, flora + fauna. Walking through a housing estate with mostly artificial grass gardens will not support pollination and will have a detrimental effect on local agriculture. Also to cite "5 policies of the Green belt" Para 138 of the NPPF.
