Insufficient consideration has been had to increased traffic leaving the site and heading eastwards. The traffic survey and assessment of traffic movement and impact on adjacent junctions does not reflect wider implications of traffic generated by the Linthouse Lane proposal.
Local roads are already congested at peak time. The junction between Kitchen Lane and Upper Sneyd Lane is poor. The approach to Bursnips Road, Sneyd Lane, and Essington Road is single track due to parked cars. The Strategic Transport Assessment (2022) did not look at the traffic impact further than the immediate locality, and particularly towards Walsall along Upper Sneyd Road. The figure used of approximately 50% of dwellings creating 1 car journey each is a low figure. The Kitchen Lane/High Hill/Upper Sneyd Road/Brownshore Lane junction has incorrectly been assessed as having traffic control lights, and is congested at peak time.
