To whom it may concern,
As a resident of [Redacted-GDPR] Brownhills, I object to the following aspects of the Black Country Plan:
-Housing development: WAH247
-Housing development: WAH235
-Employment development: WAE409; WAE410
First, the development of WAH247 and WAH235 will increase levels of traffic, noise, light and emission pollution; Lichfield Road does not have the capacity to withstand such an increase in traffic.
I am particularly concerned about WAH247 [Redacted- GDPR]. Residents [Redacted-GDPR] are subject to residential requirements (no children, no dogs, limited pets, limited vehicles) and live here because we have chosen a quiet, peaceful and secluded life. Residents of any new development will not be required to abide by the same rules and as a result, their presence will be disruptive and our quality of life will diminish.
The development of WAE409 will again be disruptive due to increased levels of traffic, noise, light and emission pollution. Residents already suffer from the visible pollution created by the Industrial Estate on Lichfield Road and further industrial development will compound this.
Crucially, the environmental impact of the proposed developments will be disastrous. While I fully appreciate the need for 'good quality' housing and employment in the local area, proposed developments will negatively impact the local environment. The designated sites are home to countless forms of wildlife, for example, [Redacted-Sensitive information], wild birds and a variety of flora and fauna. The proposed developments will destroy the local environment, for good. Furthermore, the impact of this destruction will have negative consequences for the broader community.
Collectively, the proposed developments will limit our view of the local countryside (something we all enjoy and many of us purposefully bought these properties to enjoy), devalue our homes and have a negative impact on our physical and mental health, and thus our quality of life. Plenty of brownfield sites exist in the Walsall borough and locally, a number of derelict employment units are available, for example: Maybrook, Coppice Side, Ravens Court, Silver Court and multiple units on Brownhills High Street.
We respectfully request that the proposed plans are reconsidered and relocated to sites that will not destroy our way of life and our local environment.
