I object to these developments. Green space is being reduced all the time and if we we should from the pandemic how important these areas are to the environment and to our personal health and wellbeing. The local wildlife and animals are beneficial to the environment and the important eco-structure of the area.
The increase in traffic on the surrounding roads would cause issues on roads which already overloaded. The local schools and medical centers are already overflowing and could not cope with the additional increase. The local amenities are already struggling and Gornal Village cant cope with the increase in traffic which is already a danger to drive through. The proposed Aldi would also increase the traffic risk and therefore the additional housing would add to this problem.
The growth on the surrounding greenbelt and green areas will just increase the urban sprawl and the infrastructure is not in place to cope with the growth. The massive housing development from Wombourne is creeping towards the border and we already have Himley View from the other direction, by developing these DMBC areas it will eventually join up with only Himley hall as a green areas in-between. We are therefore reducing our green space and increasing the housing stock which will have a major negative on air pollution and a negative effect on the health and wellbeing of DMBC residents. We have plenty of Brown-field areas throughout the Black Country area which should be developed over any green space.
