Site No's WAH236 (Yorks Bridge) and WAH240 (Coronation Road)
I feel very strongly against the 2 proposed sites in the Pelsall area (both Walsall MBC sites) as
listed above.
There are plenty of opportunities to explore the development of Brown Field sites around the
Walsall Borough, as well as unused shops/shopping centre in the middle of town, without messing around with Green Field sites. Whilst I read that the Plan has considered certain Brownfield sites, more work should be done to explore more plots, including domestic development of the mostly
disused white elephant that is the Saddlers Centre!
Not enough consideration is being given to the destruction of wildlife habitats in the planned sites. It will also destroy possibilites for walking/recreation time in the area .... a facility which has been highlighted in the past 18 months especially, an important factor in mental well being. Even if the fields are left as they are and people not allowed to walk across them, the site of hundreds of
buildings in their place must have a detrimental effect upon well being.
There is currently insufficient infrastructure in the way of GP surgeries, schools and hospitals, in Pelsall and its surrounding areas to facilitate so many new properties being built.
Furthermore, the villages and towns surrounding Pelsall are fast moulding into one, with no
distinction between their individuality. Both of these proposed developments can only add to that "fudging" of boundaries. A sad day indeed!
