I am objecting to the proposed development area between Doe Bank Lane, Aldridge Road and Queslett Road.
This is a listed green belt land and the first call on housing should be on brown field sites, which these area a number of derelict and neglected sites around the black country. One of the green belts purpose is to assist in safe guarding the countryside, a development of this size would break all five of the purposes listed in the government NPPT guidelines.
This areas infrastructure is currently under strain, schools and GPs surgeries are at or near capacity with traffic congestion high especially around Queslett Road.. If the proposed 900 houses are built that would add between 900 to 3000 extra vehicles.
This area is a ecological haven for wild life myself and many residents have witnessed birds of pray flying over head and heard woodpeckers. Swifts are regularly seen in summer months and other species such as wagtails and Thrushes are common placed. This development would desecrate the wild life in the area and would be an ecological disaster for the habitat, removing old oak trees and hedge rows
