Respondent: Mr J Knight

The proposals for major development in Bilbrook, Coven, Essington, Penn Common and Castlecroft are all immediately adjacent to existing dwellings on the border of Wolverhampton and would exacerbate urban sprawl and eliminate recreational space.

The proposed developments are not distributed equitably throughout South Staffordshire rather being concentrated in 5 areas. This just makes things easier and more profitable for Developers.

The proposals for Bilbrook would increase the village's population by more than 50% totally destroying its character. Bilbrook's existing road network would not cope with the increased traffic volume; it is
already under severe stress from previous and on-going development.
