Information in the plan is outdated and not up to date with some studies being three years old already. The studies have not been published and made readily available alongside the local plan review preferred options document limiting the comments and criticisms that can be made.

IDP identifies public transport in smaller settlements is generally poor with essential links lacking increasing the population without improving public transport will put unnecessary strain on the poor quality of service already provided by the existing bus network and the council run south staffordshire connect.
IDP doesn't recognise the various flood risks within the area.
Pattingham being tier four area already has broadband, telecommunications and power outages regularly adding to the infrastructure without improvements will only put a strain on the already inadequate services already available.

I cannot walk my children to schools in the morning due to congestion. We cough and splutter and so we have to drive. The junction at merry Hill roundabout is horrendous whilst children are trying to cross the pelican crossing for school. More will simply add to this. I cannot access healthy lifestyle by walking my children to school already due to the sheer amount

There appears to be a distinct focus on the main new transport links which reduces focus on the outskirts of these plans. Individual sites such as Linthouse Lane and Penkridge need to have economic vibrancy specifically considered. The impact of changed transportation patterns in these already sporadically busy areas will cause significant problems.
Within the Natural and Built Environment flood risk protection has already been identified but, following floods in 2021 in areas such as the Linthouse Lane site, the process of larger scale housing development is inevitably going to have a detrimental impact.

Respondent: Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust

I note that the current IDP, at the time of this consultation, is the document dated 2019. I am pleased to note that the Hatherton Canal Heritage Towpath Trail and Hatherton Canal restoration are mentioned on pages 28 and 33 respectively, together with indications of sources of funds which may be available to support this work. This IDP does not mention that the restored canal might offer opportunities for flood risk alleviation schemes - I feel it should. As work progresses we will engage with Staffordshire County Council as Lead Flood Authority for the district to develop such opportunities.

Kinver currently has narrow and busy roads which barely support the amount of traffic already, especially around White Hill and Potter's Cross. Given that traffic management is to be addressed in relation to the climate emergency declared by South Staffordshire Council, adding more homes and car owners will only worsen air pollution and deter visitors to Kinver, even if more road routes were built. There is one small GP surgery, and only one small local supermarket which often has long queues.

Kinver does not have in place the infrastructure for the existing houses. We do not have a Leisure Centre, Bank, Police Station, Petrol Station. PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS VERY, VERY LIMITED. No evening service, no Sunday Service, no Bank Holiday service. No Taxi Company in Kinver. Doctors' surgeries not coping. Only one small supermarket. No Youth Services apart from Volunteers. No Library apart from Volunteers.

We have no objection to the potential junction improvements at White Hill / Meddins Lane and Meddins Lane / Enville Road, indeed the need for these improvements were first identified as part of the adopted Site Allocation Plan. Land east of Dunsley Drive could make a proportionate contribution to these off-site highway improvements.

Beyond the above, no further infrastructure requirements are identified for Kinver.

The IDP lacks detail and clarity. Commenting on Tier 1 Bilbrook and Codsall, it is clear that majority of current infrastructure and resources is being used to rely on the vast increase that will come with an increase in local housing. This is unacceptable. There is failure to acknowledge current flood risks especially on Histons Hill, Codsall opposite the Trinity Church and Princess Drive. Histons Hill is particularly at risk due to already increased traffic conditions due to the newly built South Staffordshire Hub, this road is unsustainable for the level of traffic. Further housing on Histons Hill is unsustainable.

Again, as we have seen with the devlopment in Greyhound lane there is no real capacity to cope with more vehicles short of a combination of hugely increased public transport and major road upgrades, especially near the railway bridge on langley road which offers poor visibility when exiting Market Lane/Radford lane

It's not possible to judge the adequacy of provision from these documents. There's no detailed plan. Of concern to us are the effects on the A449 Stewponey junction at Stourton; and on the road system and drainage system in Kinver.
Timescale is not described - will the infrastructure be provided in time?

Lovell Homes supports the Council’s proposed infrastructure led strategy which seeks to focus development towards larger and better-connected settlements and, where appropriate, deliver new infrastructure benefits alongside new development.
