(DUH222)

1st Amount of new building in area. 2 new big developments on old brickworks and surrounding areas.
New builds oppisite Aldi in K.ford.
New builds planned for Male & Sons. New build's on what was working mens club.
New build's on Victoria Street.
All this planning of new builds is within 15min walk of the area.

2nd
Road's. How are they going to cope?? Corbyns Hall rd/lane already a racetrack/cut through at the best of times with Sainsbury's car park to small. Parking on side roads making lane a nightmare at busy times. Corbyns Hall road a main cut through road often a dangerous nightmere with double parking due to lack of private drives.

3rd
How are G.P's, hospitals going to cope. We have already lost High Oak so now we don't have a doctors within area. Schools are full to bursting already Crestwood being but one, think it was quoted that they are up to 230 children extra last year.

4th
The stress of all the works that are going to have on residents. Many people are of the "older age bracket" who live within the drive, how will the health and well being stand up with all the noise, disruption, mess of the planned new build, not well i would think. And the pollution is going to be so bad for all.

5th
The government are trying to encourage children from indoor's television/games to exercise to save on risk of being over weight.
What are they supposed to do if you are closing youth centres, taking away green space, so they can safely play, entertain themselves. The risk of higher crimes rates are more likely to rise, down to lack of things to be able to do. The green on Severn Drive is well known for dog walkers and people just walking and meeting/socialising aswell as the wildlife. What will happen when they are disrupted.

Destroying this site will mean losing a wide variety of birds/wildlife. Building right up to a hedgerow and across the hunting ground will have a catastrophic effect on habitat quality. Adjacent green belt including Ridgehill Woods will be damaged due to loss of neighbouring wildlife corridor/buffer zone, noise, vehicles, pollution, and street lighting. Green spaces are more important than ever for our mental health and wellbeing and this one is important to our community. There is already a huge traffic problem along the A449.

-Better to use Brownfield sites only, whilst also identifying/making viable the 5,500 houses in the Dudley borough currently lying empty!
-Quality of life of locals serverly impeded
-Added to other sites in/around Kingswinford/South Staffs border our already struggling 'village' will be destroyed by excess cars, roads, pollution, lack of schools/doctors/amenities!
-No nearby employment/network
-CLIMATE EMERGENCY!
-Loss of wildlife corridors

The land needs to be kept as fields not housing, the existing road infrastructure will not cope with the additional housing.

There will be a significant loss of wildlife if the site is developed. I've seen deer on the land many times in addition to birds of prey and many other species. All of which will be lost if developed.

Representation Summary:

These high value homes will appeal to commuters due to the lack of high quality, high wage employment in the area that would be needed to afford such property. This will increase congestion on our roads. The BCP mitigation include cycle paths and a metro link to Wednesbury that is slower than current options to get to Birmingham and Wolverhampton.

Already a large strain on our local roads, schools, and NHS, this will make the problem worse.

We have limited Green Belt land in Dudley already, we must do all we can to protect what little we have left.

(Holbeache ref 208, Triangle ref 211)

I object most strongly to building on the green belt. The areas under threat are a valuable amenity to residents in this already over crowded area. Comprising rich agricultural land, ancient woodland, and vistas, along with much needed fresh air to lift the most jaded spirits.
It is also home to varied wild life and birds, including frogs, hedgehogs, bats and other small mammals. At night we hear owls, by day we glimpse herons, and sometimes even a stork on a neighbours roof. Roads here are already grid locked at peak times. Doctors surgeries and schools will be over whelmed. Building 'posh' houses will do nothing to help the average families to get a home.
On this estate, we will be in the worst situation, in a pincer between new housing developments in Stallings lane and Ketley fields, and these proposed houses! ENOUGH!!

I strongly object to building on the land on the greenfield site at Swindon Road (Triangle site)
There is no way the infrastructure can cope with all of the additional cars that will come with that amount of houses! It is absolute chaos as it is to get around the main roads in and from Kingswinford in rush hour. Also one of the reasons I brought my property in Kingswinford June 2021 was for the greenspaces around us and I don't wish to lose them!

I object due to the impact on the road system, local healthcare, education, wildlife and amenities. I feel that it is fundamentally wrong to develop greenbelt land when brownfield sites are available and more appropriate for use. I feel that the development will have a substantial detrimental impact on the local area, residents and safety of the people currently in the area. The road infrastructure is barely fit for purpose as it currently stands, increased pressure will have a huge impact on the lives of people already living in the area due to congested roads and poor public transport links.

We need to keep our green belt we do not need housing built on these areas. Wildlife and people need these. Build on once industrial sites, refurbish derelict buildings, look at council houses are they best used.? Under occupancy? let’s face it houses built on green belt will not be affordable to the people that need the houses, they will be luxury detached, yes there will a tiny percentage of on sites but only to meet a set bare minimum requirement. Since COVID these spaces have become even more important for well-being.

Representation Summary:

I live in [area] and the proposed sites will have will just add to the stretched infrastructure.
Schools are oversubscribed, it is impossible to see a doctor, Russells Hall Hospital A&E department has ambulances queueing constantly.
However the biggest problem is that the roads cannot cope in Kingswinford with the influx of extra traffic from the proposed sites highlighted. It's not unusual for me to take 30-40 minutes to go to work in Brierley Hill in the morning (4-5 miles per hour) this is not acceptable. With the proposed housing Kingswinford will become gridlocked in the morning and afternoon, not to mention the the pollution that comes with the additional traffic.
The benefits of greenbelt have been highlighted in the recent pandemic and they should be preserved at all costs. Brownfield and unused High Streets should be used first.


To summarise the infrastructure especially the roads cannot cope with the increased housing in Kingswinford and Wall Heath for the proposed sites. The roads will become gridlocked and air quality will deteriorate.
Brownfield and High Streets need to take priority in all choices.

Respondent: Miss Ellie Collins

Representation Summary:

I am greatly appalled at the allocation of 533 house on the triangle located between Lodge Lane and Swindon road. This is a peaceful sort after area whether the countryside is a huge part of people’s well being in the area. By building on this, the countryside will be permanently taken from this community, not only this but by building this scale of houses will drastically change the population of Kingswinford along with Holbeache and the current major sites of Stallings lane and Ketley Quarry which are less than 2 miles away from The Triangle & Holbeache.

Kingswinford has not see this scale of major development since the 1960s and by increasing the amount of houses by this much, will lead this community driven area to becoming a regular urban area with no sense of community and an increase in crime rates much like the rest of Dudley.

It is shocking the the countryside can just be torn from a small village for mass money making, no thought of the community whatsoever, the infrastructure will not cope but more importantly this precious green belt is much sort after and how many towns/villages can say they live less than a mile away from the countryside? This is what gives Kingswinford its shine, no other area in the Black Country is like it being so close to the countryside. These two sites are particularly important in stopping the urban sprawl. Already in the black country we’ve seen acres upon acres of green belt being built on for mass development. The environment should be our main focus here, starlings can be heard tweeting over the triangle, it’s calm and tranquil here, I’ve even seen birds of pray fly over the triangle whilst being out on walks down lodge lane. This lane is also valuable agricultural land grade 3 and above.

The environment should be the main focus for the plan, once the countryside is gone, it is gone. There will be no going back. The area will be drastically changed into an overpopulated town where services cannot cope and the outdoors/environment have been permanently changed for the worse. Do you not think that with climate change there should be a bigger emphasis on preserving our green spaces for future generations? I would like to think that in the future my children can enjoy the green spaces I enjoyed as a child. Everyone has the right to outdoor spaces and in the Black Country I really do think there are a lack of green spaces.

Alternatively I think you should strongly consider building on brownfield sites. There are so many inner city / suburban areas which have fallen into disrepair or become abandoned. Why not develop these sites and leave the countryside alone? You’re only moving the problem around by not tidying up these brownfield sites. These disused brownfield sites will always be there if you don’t build on them, falling into an even bigger mess and causing more money to put right in the future if you just let them sit there getting vandalised/ arson. The countryside will never recover from being built on. It will never be in the same state that it is today. How could you let your own children/grandchildren grow up in a world where they don’t have as many resources/outdoor spaces that you once had as a child just for your own economic gain?

Already in Kingswinford there are potentially 2 major brownfield sites, the Stallings Lane development and the Ketley Quarry site (although I remember this being green belt many years ago before it was quarried). Surely those 2 sites are enough for Kingswinford to cope with? Are these two sites not enough for your growth whilst preserving the countryside and our community?

I really do hope you take account of the points I’ve raised above. This is an irreversible change and the people of Kingswinford, wall Heath and the surrounding area would hate to lose. We don’t want no compromise, we just want our green belt left alone.


If you build on this land you are taking away precious green spaces which is irreversible. There are brownfield sites that could be developed instead which makes more sense to develop those. Kingswinford / wall Heath will lose its tranquility, community and culture.

I object to this due to the destruction of Green Belt land, destroying trees, plants and animals habitats. Currently the roads around that area are extremely busy and lots of traffic so could not cope with further cars from new housing. Not enough primary and secondary school places for the current amount of children living in the area. Not enough public transport to this area. Not enough doctors for the amount of people living in Kingswinford, not enough leisure facilities, libraries, leisure centres to accommodate more housing. More housing in this area will put more pressure on already existing infastructure.

The loss of green belt / agricultural land.
Extra strain on already stretched schools and doctors services.
New housing developments at Tansey Green Road, and work shortly to start at Ketley Quarry, and at the top of Stallings Lane, means that Kingswinford has already had a huge number of new housing approved, which inevitably will lead to increased road and infrastructure congestion. Further housing on the Triangle site will add to this.

I object this as it will destroy the beautiful countryside and green belt land which is unnecessary when there are plenty of brown fill sites to build on. It would have a detrimental impact on the environment to loose the nature and the animals where this is their habitat. The pressure upon school, doctors leisure facilities etc is already at capacity, these facilities are not large enough to accommodate more families. The traffic around that area and in Kingswinford is very congested already, adding more housing would exacerbate this.

Representation Summary:

We wish to lodge our objection to this proposal. One of the reasons we love our home is the greenbelt land close to it, our close access to the walks, the wildlife and health benefits of this land, all of which would be destroyed by the housing development of the triangle! Kingswinford & Wall Heath have already had heavy development with 2 new houses estates and a third currently in development at the top of Stallings Land plus the new houses estate on the Brownfield Kettley field site. This already puts a massive strain on our local services with local NHS having long waiting times unable to come with the volume of people in the area. GP surgeries are also unable to cope. The local schools already full which would only worsen with mass number of people/ families this would bring into the area, and there is a strain on local amenities with no investment in our parks, Youth clubs/centres on Sports facilities.
The roads are also incredibly busy and cant cope with the traffic, a journey which should take minutes can take half an hour because of too much congestion each home would have a minimum of one or two cars the road cannot cope with the further influx of traffic, not too mention the increase in air pollution!
You promised to use brownfield sites not greenbelt, this is a greenfield site and the loss would be devastating to us all, the local wildlife, the use of agricultural land. It is also used by many ourselves included as a place to walk, to help escape and improve our mental health.
This land needs protecting for our future generations and we wholly oppose this site being built on

Respondent: Miss Abigail Wilkins

Representation Summary:

Objection to the planning in Kingswinford (Wall Heath)

1. Effect on road infrastructure: Roads into and around the Wall Heath and Kingswinford are already struggling to cope - they are heavily congested throughout the day and grid locked, with tailbacks, at peak times on major A491 and A449 routes. Based on 2.4 people per household, resident numbers will increase by 2071, not including the additional developments, existing and planned, in neighbouring areas (e.g. major improvements either). Households use multiple cars and vehicles, which will increase congestion to in an multiple 'shortcuts' through estates to avoid congestion. The road infrastructure through Wall Heath and Kingswinford cannot support an increase in traffic volume and new roads cannot be built to alleviate this without compromising more Green Belt.

2. Effect on road safety: Housing developments and increased traffic will seriously impact on road safety - for drivers and pedestrians. The elderly, infirmed and school children (primary and secondary) will be exposed to increased risks when crossing roads in multiple areas. Traffic control and extra pedestrian crossings will increase travel time further, adding to the existing issues with congestion.

3. Effect of increased congestion on public transport and air quality: public transport is limited to buses only in our area, with no other alternatives (rail is 30mins+). These services are already affected by the volume of traffic at peak times - especially routes along he A491. Increased congestion will impact on service times and reliability further, counteracting initiatives to encourage residents to use buses to reduce air pollution. Since Hansen rates parts of Kingswinford as having the worth commuting score from homes to places of employment, residents will have few alternatives but to use own transport, thereby adding to congestion and CO2 emissions. "Motorised road traffic is one of the greatest man-made contributions to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere" (Dudley Travel Plan). Particle pollution is also caused by tyres and brakes. By making our congested roads even worse, it will impact on local residents who are vulnerable to air pollution - older people, the young and those with chronic illnesses. The A491 feeds into Wordsley High Street as people travel to Stourbridge; already identified as having unsafe ait quality, where "Nitrogen Dioxide" has been measured as exceeding the national air quality of 40ug/m3

4. Effect on car parking for schools: Difficulties associated with carparking for local schools will increase. The plan refers to 'improving schools', however there is no space for carparking. By increasing the size of schools, this does not resolve the issues of double-parking along roads - increasing risks to children and residents in the area. Sites at Holbeache and the Triangle are not convenient to local schools through winter months - increasing further road use and congestion on the A441 and A491.

5. Effect on school admissions: There are insufficient school places for children across the area. For September 2021 admissions, the only secondary with places for Year 7 is Wordsley. Most other year groups are full. There are no places for reception in Wall Heath for 2021; only one school in Kingswinford with places. Creating spaces by enlarging existing schools will change the character of them, or force building that take away car-parking, play areas or fields.

Effect on NHS: There are not enough local doctors and dentists in the local area. Residents are being forces to travel out the area to access care. Wall Heath and Kingswinford have a number of elderly residents who cannot physically do this - due to their own capabilities and lack of public transport.
-pre-lockdown, the average waiting time at Russell's Hall was over 4 hours (2019). April '21 inspections show it still 'requires improvment'
-longer ambulance wait times (in 2020, the turnaround times reached 60mins)
-further delays in local health services, mental health services (rapidly growing), hospital treatment and operations for serious illness.

Effect on Mental Health: The green belt at Holbeach and the Triangle are much needed, open spaces for mental well-being. They are enjoyed by a large number of the community for walking and appreciating the natural environment. During lockdown, these two beautiful, open spaces helped to reduce anxiety and still continued to do so now. By building on these spaces - creating noise and air pollution, affecting the visual landscape and developing over several years - It will directly affect residents who need them. These two sites help to give residents pride in the area. As well as losing the space, additional stress will be created by light pollution and the building work itself will impact on residents, in terms of noise, traffic, visual and smell for a significant period of time (This will also impact on physical health - see point 3 above)

8. Loss of Green Belt; effect on Local wildlife and the environment: - all brownfield sites and disused buildings across all other areas of England should be identified to address the national housing need - imposing more housing in already a highly concentrated urban area, should not be expected to absorb yet more houses and have to release Green Belt at Wall Heath and Kingswinford because of imposed housing figures. This will create futher urban sprawl.
-If these two sites are developed, it would put the area at risk of being opened-up to further development by South Staffs in their preferred option plan. At present they prevent urban Sprawl along the Western edge of the Black Country
-Holbeache is VERY GOOD agricultural land - it is Grade 2, Where a range of crops can be grown. The Triangle is Grade 3, which is also useful agricultural land. Both reduce the need to import food into Birmingham and contribute to easing resource reliance. The government committed a 25-year plan to protect land of this quality and use the soil in a sustainable way (updated feb'21)
- The hedgerows all around Holbeache and a small plot to the left form a SLINC; The Triangle is also SLINC (Sites of Local Importance for Nature Conservation). Building here will mean loss of wildlife (sightings of owl, buzzards, a pair of red kites, bats - both protected); also, loss of bees and butterflies and biodiversity that wildlife corridors at both locations would be irreversible.
- Loss of ancient oak trees at the Triangle and ancient hedgerows at Holbeache. Many trees and have Tree Preservation Orders. This will contribute to climate change - replanting schemes will not replace ancient habitats and features of the local environment.
- Loss of yearly daffodils display. They add to the character of Wall Heath, are photographed across the region and create a " positive image" to enjoy (Ed Lawrence, Exp & Star March2020). The poppies on the Triangle made national news.
-Flood risk to both areas due to the gradient of the land - this will impact on drainage of the area and ground water.
- Local people appreciate the green belt through walks and cycle rides - there is huge opposition, both local and across the Midlands; we want to protect it for future generations.
9. Financial impacts: the proposed 'high value' housing will not solve issues linked to social housing (which is set between 10 - 30%). Kingswinford and Wall heath are being classed as 'growth areas' e34r other major towns with access to better infrastructures, schools and employment opportunities. There are little nearby employment sites or networks to support this.

10/ Impact on Historical characteristics: The area is connected with the Greensforge Roman Camp at the Triangle and Holbeach House (Wolverhampton Road)
