I object to the development of Brandhall Golf Course (Brandhall Green Space)

I have to object to the idea of developing the Brandhall Golf Course. I use this space daily for leisure. How can anyone in the same position as myself replace what we will lose if this development goes ahead?
This green space helps me physically and mentally and i cannot imagine not having the social contact i have from others I meet while walking over it daily.
I struggle to get appointments as it is at the local Dr's surgery in Warley Medical Centre and i can not imagine the impact a larger housing estate will have on us all. This is a council housing estate, the Golf course or green space is our jewel in the crown and it upsets me that for financial gain all of this can be ignored. Does the health & wellbeing of Sandwell residents not count any more? there are plenty of other areas that could be developed where it will not have the same impact on the environment or residents as this will have. If this does go ahead it will be a huge mistake for Sandwell, flagship green spaces keep being mentioned but the demolishing of a space such as this seems to be over looked and as residents we cannot understand how this can even be considered.

I object to the development of Brandhall Golf Course (Brandhall Green Space).
I have lived and used this space for recreation both physically and mentally all my life as have my family. I have never played golf and and neither have many local residents but the previous survey did not allow us a chance to give our objections and as many local residents that border the green space and use it are Dudley residents they were not even included in the survey. How was the feedback ever thought to be true or fair? This was raised to SMBC at Director level at the last meeting.
I live in Links Road. We have foxes in our gardens and in the street all the time, this is natural to us. I have a neighbour that has photos of a deer in her garden. What will happen to all the wildlife when the developers move in? what does mean to my grandchildren, will it improve their lives physically or mentally removing their freedom to play in open space?
We cannot get off the estate some mornings because any issue with the motorway impacts greatly causing traffic to queue along the whole of the Queensway as motorists use Brandhall as a gateway through. Please look at the accidents and deaths we have had at the junction with the Wolverhampton Road and the Queensway over the years.
Look at the High School Peryfields, what difference will a new development make to parents trying to get places for their children? we struggle so much trying to get appointments at the Doctors now at Warley Medical Centre, will this not get worse? will the local residents not pay the price for over crowding, especially the elderly residents that cannot get these appointments?
I could mention the flood plain and the fact the golf course was itself once an historic site that would be kept as a public open space but you need to know basically how losing this beautiful open space would affect the residents living here. Brandhall is a housing estate, full stop. Why would you make it an even bigger housing estate when you are being encouraged to save Green Space and to think of the health & wellbeing of local residents?

I completely object to any development on Brandhall Green Space, formerly Brandhall Golf Club.

The location of the development is completely out of key with the needs of the community.
The Brandhall and Oldbury area is already a sea of concrete and the Brandhall Green space provides a communal oasis within this.
Development of significant housing on this site will also have considerable detrimental impact on the surrounding area with increased pollution and congestion.
Development of this community space will mean many do not have a viable green space in walking distance in which to get some exercise or seek respite.
Development of this space will see significant loss of tree's and greenery currently providing lungs for our community.

Please leave Brandhall Green Space green and help support us make it a great community asset.

I am writing to object to both the Tanhouse avenue proposal and the Wilderness lane proposal, these sites are not appropriate for development.

Tanhouse avenue, the schools are already full so do not have capacity to take any extra students and the safety of the students with houses so close to the playground, there will be no checks on the new resident who will be living next to a school, also the extra traffic and construction lorries working so close to a school, this is just too dangerous to even entertain the idea.
Children's safety is priority here.
There are plenty of brownfield sites to use, leave the nature reserve alone.

Land off Tanhouse Avenue

I object to this site being used for the development of 50 new houses for a number of reasons that are listed below:

1. The proximity to a school is a serious issue. This is an area that is already very busy with traffic during the day and the serious increase in traffic with the addition of 50 properties would cause additional congestion and therefore more risk to children during arrival and dismissal. Also, this school is fully subscribed (as are the majority in Sandwell) and therefore the provision of schooling for the additional children would cause a problem. This would mean local children having to travel further for a school (as the new houses would be in immediate proximity), contributing the air pollution issues currently being experienced in the West Midlands.

2. Parking. Parking is currently an issue along the road and with the council have already approved at least two HMOs, the number of cars far exceeds the capacity of the road. This has caused a number of problems, including my wife’s car being written off by a car travelling too quickly and not avoiding parked cars. The end of the road where the proposal has been made already has cars lining the street throughout the day as people park along the road both for access to the school, and access to Sandwell Valley via the RSPB site.

3. This area is partially green belt land and borders a nature reserve that provides home for a number of locally important species. Green areas have declined rapidly recently in contrast to peoples use and desire for them increasing exponentially during the past 20+ months of the pandemic. These green spaces have provided people with a refuge and it seems counterintuitive to erode these spaces that are so limited in urban areas at the very time when people are using them most.

I have no objection to the building of houses on the Stanhope Rd site as long as there is no access from Dale Street.
If access is allowed it will allow an increase in criminal activity by allowing an escape route which at the moment is restricted due to the layout of dale street and surrounding roads.
Due to the fact there is only two ways in but one way out any more increase in traffic would cause major problems for access.
Due to the orientation of the entering roads to Dale Street in the winter they bother become icy and dangerous to drive on and also to walk on if older people.
If any properties are for older people or disabled the the walk or push up the hills of the roads entering Dale Street are steep and would be dangerous in winter.
If bus routes are a consideration Stanhope Rd is a much better to make access on Stanhope Rd due to buses already use that road currently.
I'm very interested in this site and any development on the site so would appreciate it if you could communicate with me about any plans put forward.

I completely object to any development on Brandhall Green Space, formerly Brandhall Golf Club.

Climate change and pollution get a lot of air time by all political parties yet its the poor man to the constant demand for new housing and ongoing development.

The choice of Brandhall Golf Course, now Brandhall Green Community space for a large housing development is thunderously wrong on so many levels:

1. Brandhall/Oldbury within Sandwell suffers with the least green space of the borough according to Sandwell's own Green Space Strategy Published in 2019 and Sandwell has the lowest level of green space out of all Black Country Boroughs

2. The site borders a heavily congested area, with the Wolverhampton Road proving a very busy artery and accident blackspot already

3. The site, near to busy roads and motorways provides a vital buffer to absorb traffic pollution. Placing housing and / or schools alongside this pollution will be bad for new and existing residents health and be a further indication of the shortsightedness of finding easy housing solutions over the health and wellbeing of residents of Sandwell

4. The area offers a flooding buffer for outlying houses which will be lost or severly reduced with development

5. The green space offers a once in a lifetime chance to develop a sustainable and inclusive leisure facility offering facilities to improve the health and wellbeing of residents across the brough.

6. This green space is the home to countless wild animals and plant life which the community value

We value our green space and Sandwell MBC should too.

Support our green space. Develop our brown.

Thank you.

As a former resident of Sandwell and as someone who now lives just over the border in Birmingham, I have a real passion and interest in the area that I call home. As such, I would like for my objection the proposed plans for housing to be built on the green belt around Sandwell. I am especially concerned about the proposed plan for new housing to be built at the entrance of the Sandwell RSPB reserve.

This particular area of Sandwell is a place of tranquil beauty that has served it's community and those surrounding it well for many years. Having access to such a beautiful outdoor space in Sandwell is a complete asset to the area; the RSPB reserve brings not only birds to the area but scores of people to the area to enjoy this asset.

Of course, there is a real understanding for development that supports the needs of the area and housing, especially for families, is essential. However, I do not believe that the place near to the RSPB reserve is the place for this. The process will have a negative impact on the area and potentially for the birds and wildlife that are settled here. At a time where were are trying to encourage people to consider mental and physical health for wellbeing, a development at the entrance to a space that is well used for this purpose by the community would be detrimental to that.

In trying to balance the needs of the whole community, consideration must be paid to the negative impact that such housing developments on this partiular part of the green belt would impact those who use this space, especially for children and young people in the borough who may otherwise have limited access to nature and; for the wildlife that lives there.

Please do reconsder this part of the plan, building housing at this site would have a real negative impact on the community. It has the real potential to destroy one to the most beautiful areas of Sandwell.

COUNIL DECISION TO EXCLUDE PEAK HOUSE FARM/WILDERNESS LANE SITE FROM THE DRAFT BLACK COUNTRY PLAN

Having received information at this very late hour in the process (TWO DAYS before the closing date for comments after two months of being open) I would just like to say how much we all support the council’s decision to exclude this site from the draft plan.

Wilderness Lane is a notorious rat-run anyway with traffic avoiding the over busy Scott Arms junction, and any further traffic in this area from new homes would be catastrophic. Traffic jams are already commonplace in both morning & afternoon rush hours and at afternoon school closing times. The added traffic would also impact on the busy Birmingham Road corridor, vital U-turns, and the M6 junction 7.

In addition, the area is a vital green lung in a polluted major corridor Northwards out of Birmingham combined with the busy M6 northbound. Footpaths, green spaces, canal towpaths are all vital for both people’s mental health and physical exercise. The area is also a major area for nature conservation, both animal & vegetation wise.

Your decision to exclude this site is the right one, and should be defended against property developers at all times in the future.

Use brownfield sites for development & new housing – leave our green spaces alone.

BCP Policy HOU1; Table 22 - Sandwell Residential Site Allocations

FCC Environment supports the allocation of the whole of the Edwin Richards Quarry (ERQ) site for residential development under Policy HOU1. However, it is considered that the Indicative Development Capacity of 281 dwellings significantly underestimates the contribution that the ERQ site can make to meeting housing needs in the Black Country, and Sandwell in particular, over the plan period. This is because the figure of 281 dwellings is based solely on the existing outline consent (DC14/47745) and takes no account of the likely contribution from the remainder of the site during the plan period.

I wish to register my sincere displeasure and anger at
your proposal at building 560 houses at the green space
site of Brandhall golf course and Parsons Hill Park, this
represents a travesty and will be regretted for decades
to come by the local community.
Michael Gove is putting forward a plan to re-wild fields
which seems to be at odds with these proposals. Losing
this space will rob the people of the local area of the
opportunity to use and enjoy this precious green space,
much has been spoken about the benefits of green
spaces and how they positively impact on peoples
mental and physical health, people are much more
appreciative of open green spaces to wander and to be
able to reflect.
We are not short of housing stock in this area, having
had a housing development established in Rowley Regis
in recent years. This is evidenced as the area, Old
Warley already has 75% less green space than the
average in the area. The loss of this green space will
affect many people across several council wards, having
an immeasurable detrimental impact on our physical,
mental health and well-being.
The former golf course has become a vital resource for
the local community, even more so as a result of the
pandemic. Many local families and individuals use the
area as a space for jogging, walking gathering and
enjoying the local wildlife. This plan demonstrates your
cavalier attitude to the benefits of the physical and
mental benefits of such a premium piece of land, I can
only conlude the council is working behind the scenes
with building contractors, no doubt lining the pockets
of key individuals, no doubt this will come out in the
fullness of time.
The area is busy with much traffic passing by on the
nearby Wolverhampton Road. The impact will be of
building 560 new houses near a road which has seen
many injuries and 7 deaths in the last 10 years will be
devastating from environmental perspective, not to
mention the already stated health and mental health
impacts.
Without the precious green space to balance out the
pollution caused by the busy Wolverhampton Road and
nearby motorway there will also be an impact on air
quality. The obliteration of 4,000 trees in the green
space will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the
health and life chances of the local community. I have a
young grandson who I enjoy walking with in our local
area and I worry about the impact of losing this space
will have on him.
There is also the unpalatable associated increased flood
risk that will follow ridding the area of its natural flood
defense.
It also goes without saying that there are no associated
plans to increase the number of local facilities in the
area such as doctors surgeries. It is already difficult
enough to get an appointment and time with your local
GP without further increasing the demand.
I do hope that mine and others comments are duly
considered and noted and this more than a paper
exercise, people have little confidence in their elected
officials as it appears they are motivated by personal
gain, prestige and status, it would be a nice surprise if
through this consultation you take the decision based
on the greater community interest rather than a select
few.I am happy to discuss any of the themes detailed in
this letter.

I am wring this email to express my opposion to the Black Country Plan Housing development. I am
extremely opposed to these plans due to the following reasons;
1. All three sites are within and form part of Great Barr Green Belt and should remain protected.

2. remaining acreage are Green Belt fields and mostly high quality agricultural land.

3. Peak House farm/Wilderness lane is not only Green Belt, an untouched beautiful green field, within the Conservation Area.

4. Peak House farm/Wilderness lane fulfils the aims of Green Belt in that it acts as a buffer separating the built up areas and thereby prevents urban sprawl.

5. The loss of our natural open countryside views would be lost forever to the detriment of us and our future generations

6. The infrastructure cannot take more traffic, more sewage, more light pollution, more flooding and six years of construction traffic on our narrow congested lanes. Footpaths along Street, are not continuous and serve local schools. They are heavily used by students, teachers and parents walking to and from their respective schools. This potential mix of pedestrians, narrow unlit lanes with poor sight lines, no continuous footpaths (on blind bends) and large
construction vehicles presents a very real dangerous risk to life and property.

7. Peak House farm/Wilderness lane serves as a wildlife corridor and its loss would impact on their numbers.

I hope you take these points into consideration, it would be a great loss to our local area

This site includes playing fields, and such community facilities should not be sacrificed for housing when there are outstanding planning applications that have not been built. This proposal should be rejevted unless the playing fields are retained.

The proposal is for 120 units on land that includes electricity pylons and open space used by the local community. This will need sympathetic development that ensures that the development would be an attractive and safe place to live. The number of houses being proposed therefors seems excessive.

Part of the land for this site has a long association with the neighbouring school and provides playing fields to the local community. In addition to retaining the playing fields, any development on this site will need to mitigate for possible subsidance or other problems from previous mining avtivity in the area. As the allocation report notes, part of this site is a SINC and neighbours a bird reserve. Any development MUST be sympathetic and not destroy the delicate balance of the envirnment in the area.

As a result this propsal should be rejected unless the scale of the develpment is reduced to a level that ensure that there is little or no disruption to the biodiversity of the area and ensures the playing fields are still available to the local community.

I write as a resident [address redacted] to support Sandwell Council in removing the Peak House Farm site from the Black Country Plan and Walsall Council for not including Great Barr Grade II Listed Parkland.
These environmentally sensitive sites are very important in maintaining open spaces in this area, providing a pathway to the Beacon Way and importantly preventing coalescence between the three aforementioned areas. The area needs to maintain this Green Belt as it is already an extremely polluted area due to the nearby M6 motorway at Junction 7 and the frequently heavily congested A34 dual carriageway from the Scott Arms junction through to Walsall.
BUILDING IN THE GREEN BELT
1. The Green Belt is protected from development by The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), paragraphs 79, 80, 88 and 89, the current Black Country Core Strategy (2011), and the local council’s planning policies.
2. The Green Belt areas in our locality are situated on the gateway to the three Local authority boundaries of Birmingham, Walsall and Sandwell and thus prevents coalescence and the consequential merging into the countryside that provides a natural rural separation between them.
1.3 Development within the Green Belt is severely restricted and can only be supported when certain criterion is met as outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework and it is vital that the Black Country Core Plan complies with these policies and protocols.
1.4 In particular, they must ensure that substantial weight is given to any harm to the Green Belt.
Very special circumstances will not exist unless the potential harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations.
1. THE PRESUMPTION AGAINST BUILDING IN THE GREEN BELT
1. The presumption against building in the green belt is clear, the NPPF states in: Paragraph 79 – “The Government attaches great importance to Green Belts. The fundamental aim of Green Belt policy is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open; the essential characteristics of Green Belts are their openness and their permanence.”
Paragraph 80 – “Green Belt serves five purposes: To check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas; To prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another; To assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment; To preserve the setting and special character of historic towns; and To assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land.”
2. Paragraph 87 – “As with previous Green Belt policy, inappropriate development is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt and should not be approved except in very special circumstances.”
Paragraph 88 – “When considering any planning application local authorities should ensure that substantial weight is given to any harm to the green belt. ‘Very special circumstances’ will not exist unless the potential harm to the green belt by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations.”

I wish to have my support noted for the council decision to prevent development of the above site. As a resident [location redacted] there are a number of existing issues that would significantly worsened by such as development as well as a number of new ones.
Wilderness Lane carried a high volume of traffic often at speeds exceeding the limit in place. With a number of local schools in the area including Q3 on Wilderness Lane this is dangerous. Only 2 weeks ago a small child was hit by a car at the school run.
Increasing the properties along this road and therefore the cars would be hugely detrimental both environmentally to our local school children but also increase the risk of accidents. Local roads are gridlocked between 3-3.45 pm daily causing huge annoyance to local residents who are unable to leave or access their property safely. Pushing more cars into these local roads not designed to handle the volume of traffic will only increase these issues.
The local schools are over subscribed and can not take in the additional pupils such a development would generate.
Additionally the alter the views and green belt space would be detrimental to the outlooks of the properties on wilderness Lane, and surrounding streets. Making the area less attractive and impacting property prices of the existing local residents.
On these points I wholeheartedly object to any development of the site and would like my comments noted.
