I object to the following developments: Land south of Holbeache Lane/Wolverhampton Road Kingswinford DUH 208
Land at Swindon Road Wall Heath ‘The Triangle’ DUH 211
I feel the plan should not include any greenbelt land as there is only 14% in the borough. Once built on it is lost forever.
I believe there is a disproportionate amount proposed for Kingswinford, that would put additional strain and pressure on local services and exacerbate traffic issue in the area.
There has already been numerous housing sites developed in the Kingswinford area, notably Ibstock brick, Stallings Lane, Wordsley Hospital and Crystal Glass site.
Currently there is further development at The Leys, Brierley Hill Road on the Pen’s Meadow site and planned development at Ketley Farm DUH 203. Both these sites represent a large number of houses being added to the area. Both these sites have made use of the brownfield sites in the area and these developments should be encouraged to preserve Greenbelt land.
I also think it is unreasonable for Dudley borough to be expected to hit the high housing levels as the borough is already largely built on.
