Painswick Close, Yew Tree (SAH226)

• The proposals for 140 new homes in this location would represent an unacceptable harm to existing green belt boundaries, encroaching on green belt that separates Walsall and Great Barr. The reduced space between the two settlements will affect the respective identities of each community.
• The site also has a SLINC designation on the woodland area that would be affected by its allocation for housing.
• The wider Yew Tree area does not have sufficient public services and facilities to serve an additional 140 households. There are existing traffic congestion issues and a lack of services in the area, such a postal services and access to cash.

• Yew Tree Primary School is an example of a public service which is already at capacity. The development of 140 properties in this area would add further strain to this facility.
• Please find enclosed a petition of 501 signatures requesting the removal of Painswick Close, Yew
Tree from the Draft Plan.
