DSA2 (The Triangle).
I am objecting to the proposal for Policy DSA1 Land South of Holbeach Lane /Wolverhampton Road, Kingswinford and Policy DSA2– Land at Swindon Road, Wall Heath, Kingswinford (The Triangle site). These proposals are to remove land from the green belt despite pledges from the Prime Minister to protect the green belt. We must not allow the green belt to be eroded further. There are no mitigations offered in the BCP and this is simply not acceptable. The biodiversity impact, impact on historic sites nearby and impact on those already living in Kingswinford and their health and wellbeing would be hugely detrimental.
Infrastructure is already struggling to cope in the area. Doctors surgeries are full and it is difficult for those living in the area to get appointments. The additional pressure on emergency services and Russells Hall would be unacceptable. Furthermore the traffic on the A449 is already horrdendous. It is a dangerous road and adding more traffic to the area would cause significant increase in congestion and pollution. Adding cycling/walking networks will not offset that. The impact on Wall Health and that area of Kingswinford would be horrendous. These proposals must be considered in line conjunction with all of the other proposed housing for the are which when looked in total - it's a huge amount of extra pressure on the local infrastructure.
