DUH 217.
If access is to be via Hyperion Road, then this will also be for all site traffic.
We already have to many cars, delivery vans etc at this moment.
Houses are multi occupied, parents elder children, many of whom have cars parked all over the pavements, making it difficult for cars to navigate. Heavy Articulated lorries would be a night mare.

Hyperion Road is already suffering from lack of repair; heavies would destroy it.
On top of existing traffic, you would then have another 90 minimum using this road - CRAZY.

ref; DUH217. Natural habitat for foxes, and other wild life, including birds. Loss of habitat that houses insects and bugs that are food for the bats. I walk the dog, walk there myself for my mental health therapy, physical health. The local authority should be protecting, conserving biodiversity. The boundary is an ancient hedgerow and should be protected. Trees clean the air, stabilize the soil and give life to wildlife. Its important that we educate our children to recognise the importance of caring for their local environment and learn about the animals, insects that live there.

Site DUH217 provides a link to the ancient tracks down to the River Stour providing connectivity between the various communities of Wolloaston, wordsley, amblecote, prestwood, stourton, kinver, and kingswinford. This area should not be dismissed as a narrow piece of green belt as this is an area of historical importance which must be preserved for future generations. During lockdown this has been a vital area to allow people to connect with nature and get their daily exercise, all of which are essential for their mental well-being.

The development of green belt areas is a negative and backward step for the Black Country I terms of its affects on the environment, biodiversity of the area and the mental, physical and social needs of the local population. There are plenty of brown field sites and existing houses that can be used instead

I object to the development of area DUH217 as this is an area I use frequently to access the countryside, namely the local canal network and River Stour. I also believe the development will create more congestion, especially on the Kingsway and particularly the area around St. James School and the shops which is already an issue I have complained about before to the council. I believe the destruction of this natural habitat will be detrimental to the area.

Firstly, as someone reasonably familliar with the planning process I need to say that the navigation of this site is difficult and massivley biassed to the heavily computer literate and those willing to trawl through the minutia of the planning process at a professional level, this excludes a massive part of the population.

My immediate objection is to the housing allocation DUH217 this is massively disruptive to local wildlife, the excercise of residents, rights of way and those commuting without cars and most concerning addidng risk to the access at St James' School as wellas pollution around children.

There is no clear access, it’s detrimental to the area for habitat to nature when we should be protecting what little areas we have left. It’s a greenfield site, first, second and last therefore it should be left well alone. Concentrate on existing brownfield sites NOT removing them for goodness sake.

It is a natural habitat for wildlife. My Children go to the school by this proposed area, this would increase traffic, pollution and risk.
I use this area to walk my dog for my own mental health, physical health and well being.

I totally object to building on the greenbelt site situated off Kingsway Wollaston as you will kill off all the existing wildlife (including endangered species) you will also deny local residents the chance to appreciate what we have to offer right on our door step, not to mention the increase in noise pollution.

The proposed plans will impact on local facilities including roads (traffic and road maintenance) and local shops, furthermore, the strain will be seen on local schools of all levels.
If the plans go ahead they will have a detrimental effect on the local wildlife, green space and well-being of native animals.

This path provides a link to the river stour providing connectivity between various communities. The area is a part of wollaston’s history & identity. Access to this is vital to my well-being and I often run & cycle down here. Loss of the path would be detrimental to my health.

DUH217: Objection on grounds of substantial increase in traffic and strain on basic services such as gas, water and sewage infrastructure which could struggle to meet the demand.
The amount of street parking has increased massively in recent years making driving around the area difficult especially near the school and shops. An additional 90 houses will make the situation worse, cause more congestion, higher levels of pollution and increase the risk of accidents.
In addition, the service provided by local doctors' surgeries is already poor and is likely to be made worse by an increase in population.

Site reference numbers DUH 206 (Worcester Lane North), DUH 207 (Worcester Lane Central) , DUH 209 (Worcester Lane South)
Congestion to already busy and struggling local roads/villages, particularly crossroads at Racecourse Lane with limited capacity over railway bridge which would result in increased danger to pedestrians.
Loss of green spaces and link to historic Dudley Trail
Irrevocably destroy the local character of the area
Immense negative impact on environment - pollution and drainage - Worcester Lane currently floods in heavy rain
Local services are already under pressure - doctors, dentists, schools etc
Loss of agricultural land which is much needed
Loss of habitat for wildlife

Primarily I object to DUH217. I object to loss of bridleways and paths and object strongly to the destruction of any green space in the area. I also believe that infrastructure will be stretched and the environmental destruction will be way beyond that which is planned. Brownfield sites and shopping areas that are now under utilised should be changed to housing.

In regard to DUH217, I am unhappy that green belt land (or proposed former green belt land) has been earmarked for development, when other brownfield sites nearby are not being utilised. This are forms part of a number of local, countryside walks, which have become crucial to wellbeing in recent times. It is a route I have used a number of times during the COVID lockdowns. The more of these spaces we lose, the fewer countryside walks we have, at the detriment to the mental health of the local community.

What was once a green open field became an overgrown, muddy and narrow "footpath" with adjoining empty paddocks. All part of a greater plan to make the area more difficult to use?
To cover this popular local amenity with housing, replacing a wildlife refuge for many species with an expanse of block paving and tarmac is a crime against nature.

Plan DUH217
This area has been a haven for wildlife and a much needed outlet for health and well being for the local people in all the 63 years I have lived in Wollaston and I feel that in all those years, it has never been more important to me and the local residents to savour it and preserve it not only for this generation but for future generations.

I feel the plan should be scrapped. By going ahead with this housing allocation plan, DUH217, I feel the authority is showing a total disregard for the health and well being of the local population, the wildlife and environment, access to the site and an increase in volume of traffic would present huge problems and dangers to the local school children due to it's proximity to St. James's School.

DUH217 I strongly object to the development on the above site as it is a widely used path by the local community to access the canal, and further greenland, it is a haven for local wildlife, this would also put pressure on the local schools, doctors etc which are already full to capacity the link from the Kingsway is already a busy road by adding another junction to it would be an accident waiting to happen

DUH217 I strongly object to this area being developed.
The land supports a vest amount nature.
The area is also too hard to access & already supports an incredible large amount of housing. Creating more junctions to service this development so close to a local school would lead to increases in accidents. Finally creating another development after already seeing Daulton Brook being built, would significantly put further stain on local services such as doctors & schools that have already seen massive reductions in quantities that we have been used to having.

Our views on the above proposal on Severn Drive/ Comber Drive that we STRONGLY OBJECT to:

We need to save the little of what we have left of our green space for future generations & wildlife.
Trees that are mature and have nature’s habitat living in them are going to be destroyed by this
proposed development. Houses are being built on every available space with no consideration for
anyone’s mental well being or the destruction of its wildlife.

There will be an increase in traffic ( that is already a growing nightmare !!) , pollution, noise, plus the
extra demand on the NHS Services, Schools (that are already over subscribed) etc.. There have been
hundreds of houses built in and around Pensnett in the last few years but no other facilities have
been built to accommodate all these extra houses – We have even lost our Doctor’s Surgery.

There will be nowhere for the children to play or socialise. Dog walkers use this land too. Where is
everyone supposed to walk and socialise ?? The residents have nowhere else to go, all of our green
space is slowly being eroded by housing developments.

Come on DMB do not take this precious ‘green space’ away from us !!!
Do what is right for our community - PLEASE -
