Objection due to significant negative effects on:
Local NHS services - GPs/Dentists.
Increased traffic congestion - higher CO2, poorer air quality and increased traffic through Maidensbridge Estate - this is already an issue and very difficult to access A449 due traffic on the road and estate, which is often gridlocked.
Effect on schools - lack of places and negative impact on education with greater class sizes required.
Strain on local amenities.
Loss of Green Belt and impact on local wildlife and the environment.
Detrimental impact on mental health due to loss of green spaces and good agricultural land. Increased pollution.

One of the keys things highlighted by the recent COVID pandemic has been the huge benefit of green spaces to the physical and mental health of Dudley Borough residents. To even consider building on such green belt sites such as the Lodge Lane/Swindon Road triangle in Wall Heath/Kingswinford and the fields at Holbeache would seem to be nonsensical at the very least. Such developments would swamp existing infrastructures and increase traffic to a point which would cause major issues in terms of volume and pollution.

Remove these sites from the plan. Given the location of these two sites to the border with South Staffs Council, inclusion in the plan will indicate to SSC that development of green belt land along this border is acceptable when in fact it is completely the opposite as it would represent a huge loss of green belt with horrendous detriment to biodiversity, air quality and well being and open space availability to Dudley residents. Furthermore it would have negative impact on all local infrastructure. There is huge opposition to the development of this green belt area and if DMBC give the nod to developing these sites then it weakens any argument that the campaign groups have with SSC

Roads - already the local roads around this area are very very busy and not everyone is back at work yet so when they are it will be grid locked without the added pressure of all these new houses and cars. Dangerous for walkers and residents with higher risk of accidents . Causing more polution, CO2 emissions, noise, public transport delays, pressure on the enviroment and drivers taking short cuts through the existing estates.
More pressure on local NHS services - The doctors and dentist surgeries in this are are already bursting at the seams and it is hard to get appiontments. The added pressure on Russels Hall hospital with even more people to treat, even longer ambulance waiting times who won't get through because of the added traffic on the roads. There are a high number of elderly people and the old peoples homes in this area who will be greatly affected by this as they won't be able to get the help they need.
Schools - This is a sort after area for schools and people move here because of them, however they do not have the spaces to accomodate even more children forcing families to have to travel outside the area for schools which will also add to the increasing volume of traffic and polution.
Enviromental issues - loss of the green belt land. Holbeache is very good agricultural land and it is Grade 2, where a range of crops can be grown. The hedgerows all around Holbeache and a small plot to the left form a Sites of Local Importance to Nature Conservation, so building here would destroy the habitat of protected species such as bats as well as the owls, red kites and buzzards who are sited in this area. The loss of bees and butterfies due to the lack of polinating plants will also be an impact which we need to be encouraging not destroying.
This area is renown for walkers, runners, cyclists and is an amazing place for this and in this ever increasing world of mental health issues is so imortant to this area. It needs to be protected for future generations. Wallheath currently has no youth centre or sports centre so this is it for us and we are desperate to protect what we do have which makes this an unique and wonderful place to live. By taking all the green belt away and building even more housing which won't be affordable to anyone unless they are wealthy it will destroy this area in every way.
There are already big new housing estates on Stallings Lane and a new one to be built on Stallings lane which has increased the pressure on Kingswinford and Wallheath it would be a disaster to do even more and make us a sprall of concrete increasing the risk of flooding and adding to the major issue of global warning. The govement committed to a 25 year plan to protect land of Holbeache's quality please follow this committment and throw this ridiculous plan in the bin

Green Belt Dudley DUH208 Holbeach - I strongly object to the removal of the green belt status for this site. Not only does it provide valuable habitat for skylarks, buzzards, bats, owls, foxes,, insects and is also used thankfully to the owner, a place of exercise for people of the Charterfield estate. The next nearest exercise in the open country space is a further 1/2 mile to reach which is indeed Staffordshire. This land will be needed now as we leave Brexit to feed the country with the produce we normally get from abroad. If we keep using up farms, then there is no food for the extra people.
Infrastructure Dudley DUH208 Holbeach: I have lived here since 1984 and have gradually seen the increase in traffic over the years on my commute to West Bromwich for work and how difficult as times it is just to get back home. We have had increased supermarkets which brings traffic in from other areas and Morrisons / Safeway was recognised as one of the busiest in the country. The Pensnett trading estate is 4 times bigger than it was with increase of heavy haulage. We have no way of getting of Chartefields safely and is getting very difficult to turn off into Stallings lane. We have no immediate rail network station so we have to catch a bus to the station before we even pay for the train the cost of getting there is greater so we just use the car as people will. Building these homes will put at least another 1000 cars in the locality with no roads or rail to get in or out easily.
Waste Dudley DUH208 Holbeach: We are now getting increasingly surrounded by waste tips and the smell and dust from them at times, especially at night when it goes damp leaving us to close our windows.
The noise from the metal transfer station is also getting unbearable which also means we have to close our windows. They start work at 7:30 on saturdays also which goes on all day. The roll-on-offs are just tipped up onto the floor and then the waste is scraped into their containers. Where will the extra waste go?
Health Dudley DUH208 Holbeach: We currently have difficulty in making doctors appointments and even telephone conversations with doctors and many people just go the accident unit at Russell's Hall making that over stretched. Where will approximately 800 extra people go to the doctors? There is also a large number of children in the area with existing asthma related problems my son included extra traffic in the area will not help air quality.
There will also be the dust created by the site filtering over to the estate also giving poor air quality, this could be ongoing for a number of years.

The whole reason we will continue to live in this area is because of the green areas. If we wanted to live in a concrete jungle then we would go where the house prices are much lower.
If you build on this scale the area will no longer be sought after and my house value will reduce significantly. My quality of life will also be affected. Pollution, noise, traffic, crime rates, house price reduction.
PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS.

Sir. Much as already been made of the pressure on the local area that the influx of thousands of people will bring, much to the detriment of those in situ, their presence masking what they might have expected to enjoy.
Wall Heath is one of those back water villages that the gems of these often green spaces are a big part of their attraction, in removing them will detract considerably. It is all too easy to criticise anothers endevers to create this Black Country Plan, and walk away without responsibility, so I offer a (in part) solution.
:- It may not have come to the planners notice that a sizeable brownfield site may soon become available for development in the Kingswinford area, this being in Stallings lane, though not as large, it will be a less controversial offering.
Finally may I take this opportunity to remind our local authority, this it is (among others) their function to look after the residents interests.
I hope you do not disappoint.

I strongly object to the development of the land south of Holbeach Lane/Wolverhampton Road Kingswinford, Site Reference DUH 208, for the following reasons:-
1. The field enables the public to use it for daily exercise to promote good health and well being for individual's in a safe environment. This is very important for people's mental health.
2. It enables dog walkers to exercise their respective pets in a safe and quiet environment away from the traffic around the streets that surround the field.
3. The beauty of such a field provides people with a sense of freedom to escape to when they have been travelling in their cars or sitting in traffic jams or had a difficult and trying day at their workplace, where people can take a leisurely walk around the field to unwind.
4. There are numerous amounts of wildlife that live and frequent the field such as owls, buzzards, red kites, bats, (both protected) and bees and butterflies which are being protected due to their declining numbers whose habitats will be destroyed if the area is developed.
5. Traffic and pollution problems will become even greater in and around Kingswinford, especially on the Wolverhampton Road where the proposed development is expected to take place. As it stands the Wolverhampton Road leading to Himley in one direction and Wallheath in the other direction is busy where a high volume of traffic passes through every day.
6. Building developments of this size will cause "air and water pollution" with chemicals released during construction. Also building work itself will impact on locals in terms of noise traffic visual and smell.
6. No rail networks or cycle network with limited bus services will force more commuters to use cars and further gridlock roads on A449/A491.
7. With the creation of proposed new developments come families that will be living in these areas. Therefore, additional schools, doctors surgeries, hospitals, supermarkets etc. will need to be built to accommodate people moving into these area.

I object very strongly to the plans to build homes on countryside at Holbeache. I have lived near the proposed site for 40 years and value very much the wildlife and peace this land gives me and all other residents, once this green belt land is built on all this will have gone forever. There are plenty of old industrial sites which could be re-claimed and built on but this is prime building land and the houses built would be expensive and give the builders more profit, hardly affordable housing.
The roads in Kingswinford are congested enough already and the building of a large number of houses at the top of Stalllings lane has made the traffic here almost dangerous, Kingswinford has already contributed to extra houses, being built with no provision of new schools or doctors surgeries. Please keep Kingswinford a place with our green belt so that future generations may enjoy it, do not destroy it forever.

To who it may concern
I wish to strongly object to the proposed decision to include green belt land .. off the A449 at Holbeach Wall Heath in your core plan for future development. In this area of northern Kingswinford we have already over the past 3 years had 700 new homes built at Stallings Lane and a further site is just about to commence development with a further 170 homes. Should this be approved this would be another 330 homes exiting onto the main A449 Road which is already badly congested during peak times.
We do not have the Road network to sustain anymore large development plans. Kingswinford does not have a railway station or tram network or motorway and so all this extra burden would go onto the road network.
Our schools are all fully subscribed to and both doctors and dentists are already difficult to get an appointment. I do not see the building of a new school in this strategy?
I have lived in Kingswinford since [x] when it was a small village, with a clear boundary between the neighbouring villages of Wall Heath and Wordsley, however these communities have now merged into one with over development, but within that time no new schools have been built, and no new doctors surgeries have opened.
I think enough is enough now.
I value our wild life, I see bats around my windows at dusk and [animals] in this field. We are told climate change is happening now so do your bit… find more brownfield land. I am told by Mike Wood there is some.
Yours sincerely

Having read and reviewed the supporting goverment and council documention in regards to the planned home build South of Holbeache Lane and Triangle (swindon road) I have and raise the below objections.
Firstly and the quantities of homes being planned, I feel strongly that there has been very little concideration towards how traffic and pedistration flow will be incorporated into the existing traffic / road system. The existing road network for which will link the housing developments sits on the boarders of both Dudley borough and South Stafforshire, so how will this be expanned and supported. The same system is heavily congested without additional traffic being added, not only by cars, but by delivery vans, waste collections and etc once they are built.
The current road network within the area is currenly not fit for purpose, with no scope for expansion without the need for homes and businesses to be demolished to allow for the roads to be widened and expanded. If the homes were to be built, I personally feel that the developers should bare the whole cost for this rather then the tax payer.
How would new traffic flow be incorporated into both developments with having a major knock on affect further down the road network on both the A449 and the A491
Additionally there is very little in the way of public transport, with only 1 bus service supporting the road running along Holbeache and 2 services skirting very briefly the swindon road triangle site. There are no train services, so reading that transport links will support the new developments has no merit from your own reports. I would very much doubt that Network rail would re-instate the long closed wombourne railway line and then the local residents would object like they did when LCP tried to re-instate the railway terminal in Pensnett.
In regards to schools, how will the building of 860 homes help the current situtaion where there are no spaces. With the number of homes being built, in theory you would be suggesting the building of a new school both primary and secondary. This plan does not include the existing housing developments being built on stallings lane, himley view and katesby view. Again very little concideration has been put into the number of new homes and familys being brought into the area.
Then there is and more importantly the enviromental impact that this will have on the whole area, more cars, more traffic and increased fumes being created for which will affected the healt of people living in the area.
Again, the road systems, schools and required infrastructure requires to be put in place before the housing developments. It appears to be, lets build very expensive houses, for a very short sighted company and vision without the concideration of how it will be supported.

I most strongly object to any more major housing development in Kingswinford especially the north of the region namely the green belt at Holbeach exiting onto the very busy A449 (proposal to build 330 homes)

1...this area has already had 2 large developments at the top of Stallings lane.. total of 700 homes and another one of 170 homes is due to commence now, this is a total of 870 houses.

2. Kingswinford does not have a train station, tram network or motorway or even dual carriage ways (and has no way of building any of these in the future) anywhere within a 5 mile radius meaning that all this potential extra traffic would be in the form of even more pollution from vehicles on our already congested road.
it is my view that over the past 5 years more development has taken place around this area than any where in the borough

3. I do not see any mention n the strategy of any new schools, doctor surgeries or dentists to accommodate the extra population. Schools are already fully subscribed and doctors and dentists are difficult to gain access to.. i have lived in Kingswinford since 1978, when it was a little village, and during that time the population has increased hugely but in all that time no new schools, doctors or dentists have been opened to deal with this.

4. I value our wildlife and green spaces. I get bats around my windows at dusk (clearly from the wood that adjoins this field and hedgehogs around the field. We are told climate change is happening now so i urge you to protect this green belt. I am told my Mike Wood and local councillors there are brownfield sites still untouched that could be developed instead.

I object to the building of houses on green belt land.
The Kingswinford Triangle 533 homes.
Holbeache Lane 330 homes.
These will be high value homes £350,000 upwards. So if each house has 2 cars that will mean another 1726 extra cars locally on the roads which i may add are in a terrible state.
The roads around surrounding area are already congested without adding more traffic
There will be extra pressure on G.P surgeries which may I add you can't get a appointment now for love or money. Hospitals (Russells Hall) are already over stretched.
Where are all the children going to go to school are children now are unable to get into their local school.
There is brown sites around without building on the green belt. By using green belt you will be harming local environment also wild life.

either cats or dogs and it’s a great place for the cats and dogs to live. Everyone who
bought their house here bought it because of the scenery, allowing building
permission will have the people who have lived here all there lives sell their dream
home and that’s very unfair. The green belt provides both humans and pets with
oxygen and houses does not provide this. It’s awful that this may be in place, and it
means people moving out of their dream homes. It will cause upset, distress, and
even health problems for the residents. There is no longer green anywhere because
it’s all being built upon. No more houses. More green

Kingswinford has already had a lot of housing development around Stallings Lane and Tansey Green Road. This has resulted in increased traffic and congestion within the area. This impacts on air quality. More housing within the area will only add to this problem. More housing and therefore more people will impact on school admissions, doctors surgery's, dentists and hospitals.
I also strongly object to using Green Belt Land for housing as this will impact on the hedgerows and wildlife at a critical time when we are being encouraged to protect and develop this.

Schools - already shortage of school places for all ages
Roads - A449 already very busy and other roads in the area are congested. any more traffic will lead to many more delays and poorer air quality. the area is is often gridlocked at peak travel times.
2) Green belt development should be avoided at all costs, the Holbeache site has much wildlife - owls, buzzards, bats, bees, butterflies, with many mature trees & hedgerows. It is also good agricultural land (Grade 2) where a range of crops can be grown. The government has a plan to protect land of this quality & use the soil in a sustainable way.
3) local green spaces are important for mental health & well being and wall health needs to keep this one.
4) There will be considerable disruption when building takes place if it does, making the existing roads even more congested & causing delays

There is little or no capacity at local schools within walking distance. This will ultimately impact on road use. See above.

It is well documented and reported about the positive benefits of fresh air and how important green spaces have been during the pendemic. So why on earth would the council want to destroy green spaces? there will be destruction of wildlife ( The surrounding hedgerows are Sites of Local Importance for Nature conservation), flora- (our famous Daffodils) and good agricultural land, which is protected by Government policy. There ARE Brownfield sites which should be used first to alleviate local eyesores.
This council has no regard for the environment and wellbeing of it's residents and I believe they are motivated by money .
