Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 45359

Received: 07/10/2021

Respondent: Mr Nigel Wood

Representation Summary:

- During the build and subsequently more people in a peaceful park location.
- Noise and pollution from all of the extra cars/vans from the proposed 900 houses. Example, most houses will have one car, some two cars that equates to 900/1800 extra cars in the area. The road system can not and will not cope.
- This is green belt land that divides two large housing areas, Pheasey estate and Streetly (so preventing neighbouring towns merging)
- Drain on local services and amenities:- schools/shops/GPs/Dentists which even now are full and it can be hell trying to get an appointment, even before Covid 19
- Surely the green strip is an emergency landing/flight path for Birmingham airport. Yes there may be overhead wires, but better to try and land there than into the houses of Kinstanding/Castle Vale/Sheldon/all built up areas before the airport
- More tarmac and slabs will not help with rainwater drainage etc.
- The government and councils are always talking about air pollution, well this is not going to help with all the extra traffic.
- Once its gone, its gone. The word hindsight will not bring the green belt back.
