Representation ID: 45942

Respondent: Mrs Shelia Abrahams

Representation Summary:

I object in principal to building on GREEN BELT LAND.
In particular I wish to object to the land known as the Triangle, off Swindon Road and Lodge Lane, Kingswinford bordering the A449, also the land next to Holbeache Lane, Wall Heath, being used for building purposes.
My reasons are as follows:-
- The traffic around this area is already causing great congestion.
- The infrastructure of roads around Kingswinford cannot cope already with the number of cars and commercial vehicles.
- Congestion means pollution of the atmosphere
- People will get sick because of the pollution and have difficulty getting a doctor's appointment because the NHS is already over-stretched.
- The environment and wildlife will be destroyed - no longer will the skylarks be heard over the fields in Springtime and the flocks of over-wintering birds will not be able to shelter in the hedgerows, nor the wild flowers be allowed to grow along the verges.
