There is no consideration to try to avoid land banking and local land being monopolised by a few developers – this drives land prices upward.
Overspill housing will encourage commuting and unsustainable development and create more pollution (including reduces air quality).
Object to development at Linthorne Road, Langley Road and Cross Green.
Flooding – evidence to show ample flooding at nearby sites, if there is poor planning Linthorne Road, Langley Road and Cross Green could be subjected to flooding.
Development may bring water tables upward sin other local areas.
The mix of housing should be in favour of affordable social housing – this cannot be guaranteed.
Increased traffic, congestion and pollution. Increase in hazards and dangers to do with road safety, increase accidents.
Access point to the new site will become pinch points.
Roads are currently already at capacity.
Strain on infrastructure.
Increased pressure on Russells Hall Hospital and New Cross Wolverhampton hospital.
Impact on local schools, increase in class sizes – increase in poor education attainment.
Increased strain on GP surgeries and dentists- longer wait times.
Loss of spare service capacity eg waste disposal.
Proposed development is out of scale and not in keeping with the character of the area.
Increase of noise pollution and loss of privacy.
Creating urban sprawl.
Lack of public transport both bus and rail.
Loss of green open recreational spaces – can effect mental health.
Lack of free green space availability will have effects on lower income households.
Detrimental to the character of the area.
Loss of countryside views.
Impact on wildlife, ecosystems and habitats. Loss of wildlife corridors.
Brownfield sites should be considered and utilised before green belt – vacant retail, office and industrial properties should be considered.
