when we consider infrastructure it has to be based on all the facts and the potential of the area we made a plan for . there are few fundamental issue with the Linthouse Lane plan : the land has surrounded with number of electricity piles , the land has surrounded with 4 roads which are very narrow and have no more capacity for extra traffic load , even now in busy hours we observe constant traffic jam on linthouse lane and surrounding area and adding almost 2000 new houses to the area is unimaginable in this congested location .

A lot of these villages do have adequate public transport to support the growth. For example Kinver was without a bus service and even the bus service now is inadequate as the latest bus is no later than 6pm. Therefore anyone wishing to live in the village requires a car which the roads need improvement to support additional cars and road layouts improved.
None of the villages have access to a train station therefore lack of infrastructure to enable growth

Only areas within the county boundary are being taken into consideration. In South Staffs especially from a Habitats Regulation Assessment perspective we should also take into account the bordering areas in Shropshire.

I do not agree with building on green belt land in Wombourne. You are stripping away what makes this a beautiful village and killing habitats for the sake of housing which can be built on many brown sites.

In simple terms as already highlighted there is not enough doctors, dentists or schools at the present time so any further influx of people into the village would make the situation impossible

DO NOT BUILD MORE HOUSES - GP'S ARE ON BURNOUT ALREADY. They simply cannot cope with anymore patients. If you're not building a new GP surgery & a new hospital trust for these patients- DO NOT PROCEED. PATIENTS WILL DIE & DOCTORS WILL LIKELY COMMIT SUICIDE.

Increased traffic = traffic jams, noise ,air pollution and congestion in and around the village which only has a limited number of access roads. Poolhouse /billy buns/himley is a bottle neck already. Lack of parking e,g lack of public transport means car parks in village are semi full by commuters, shoppers can't access shops during the day., street parking has already reached dangerous levels, with no loading areas. Local kids can not get into schools already, , GP registers full, no facilities for young people increased crime will need increased policing.

IDP fails to address lack of health provision going forward in Wombourne. Currently only two surgeries which have not been consulted about the repercussions of such the areas cited for development on green land in Wombourne. Both surgeries and dentals surgeries already unable to meet current demands of Wombourne and its surrounding villages. Evidently Housing and Health departments not working together. Investment required.
Schools already at capacity and infrastructure not sufficient to absorb more pupils. Investment required for education provision. Transport and roads not adequate currently and services not sufficient. Wombourne facilities for young mentioned but currently minimal.

The IDP shows no requirement identified for Wombourne in respect of health and education facilities or transport. With the addition of the new developments on top of the existing ones, the strain on existing facilities will be excessive. The developments in Swindon will also add additional strain on Wombourne.
The significant development around Billy Buns Lane will have major transport and safety implications adjacent to an already very busy traffic island. This development in particular will cause an increase in accidents.
What is the proposal to mitigate this issue in respect of Wodehouse island?

- The roads are mess, extra traffic may cause even further damage.
- Currently we don't have a police station, additional families which will need coverage.
- Extra schooling, in wombourne we have 3 primary schools and 1 secondary. Our schools support children from dudley and wolverhampton. They will not be able to maintain the good quality of education with the extra demand.
- This is applicable to doctors surgeries, I usually need to wait several for an appointment.
- Detrimental impact up on tourist industry.
- Public health, one proposed site we used in lockdown.

Penkridge doesnt have the necessary road capacity for the proposed development. There is one main road A449, fed by country lanes. there is no bypass as the village is between the motorway and the railway, meaning all motorway traffic comes through the village when there is an incident. There is no Northbound access to the M6 from the M54 meaning all northbound traffic comes through the village. adding 1200 houses with no additional road will make movement around the village impossible

The roads on the plan had the wrong name, woodhayes road is a small lane and wouldn’t cope with the amount of traffic from the new homes that south staffs and wolverhampton council want to build on both sides of blackhalve lane.

Road infrastructure is a huge issue for Penkridge:-
1 Increasing traffic travelling from Wolverhampton to the M6 and Stafford along the A449.
2. With the construction of the Hub again a huge increase in traffic.
3. An increase in traffic travelling through the old village when roads and footpaths are inadequate.
4. A bypass is needed to alleviate this.
5. There is a huge need for another Doctors Surgery and Dentists.
6 Cycle paths have been promised by developers on new developments but have not been completed.

Although infrastructure is mentioned throughout this document and looks at the wider view, it does not acknowledge this at a local level, impact of villages that rely on the same services. For example Brewood and Wheaton Aston use the same doctors surgery. This type of problem will worsen as there needs to be recognition of all developments including small developments that have been built within these villages - infrastructure has already been impacted upon and already these villages struggle with GP services, transport and appropriate road provision.

The proposed houses to be built to the south of Wildwood Stafford are a repeat of the twice rejected Gladman development with all the same shortcomings. There is no infrastructure proposed. South Stafford schools are full, all school journeys will have to be by car both ways. There are no local shops or amenities, again all journeys by car. This is a greenfield estate designed to give the maximum negative environmental impact.

There is no provision for improving public transport, easing traffic problems around schools, - particularly St.John's School Essington which causes business disruption as well as road safety issues- nor a plan to reduce emissions from vehicles by removing speed humps so that internal combustion engines run at the most efficient performance.
Increased housing will require additional services such as power, roads and sewage which will not only add to congestion but will also add to the carbon footprint of South Staffordshire. This has not been calculated.

Demand Responsive Transport does not work - the 'Staffordshire connect' bus service is inadequate for many rural communities - how do you help those who have college and school? Bring back bus subsidy to local operators so they can properly scheduled bus services. Many DRT systems use algorithms and often the only way to beat these is to book in advance! Unfeasible.
I think South Staffs Council should also consider the poor state of road surfaces, before adding extra infrastructure to an already crumbling network. The A460 near west croft motorhomes is an absolute disgrace.

For Wombourne- developments of 500-1000 dwellings would be expected to deliver a new local centre according to the IDP. This logic should not just apply to singular developments, it should apply to cumulative developments within an area. There is no provision for a new local centre in Wombourne, despite 514 dwellings being proposed.
Highways- Staffordshire County Council budgets for Highway maintenance have been slashed. Statutory duties such as road sweeping, gully emptying are not being performed currently, leading to frequent flooding. SCC are not in a position to increase this neglect.
No electric car charging provision or additional fuel stations

It's not clear how to access the IDP so can not comment on it's status. However, in respect to Wombourne proposals, this is a village (typically defined as between 500-2,500 residents) with a population of c.15,000. There is one senior school, five primary schools, two GP surgeries, one bank, one small supermarket, one petrol station. The infrastructure does not support the existing population with local services decreasing (closure of police station, banks, shops). Increasing instances of flooding on all access roads, many narrow roads, poor quality roads, etc. A comparable size to Bridgnorth but infrastructure no where near comparable.
