Policy SA1 - Likely to impact on M54 Junctions 2 & 3 and on A449 north of M54 Junction 2
Policy SA2 - Will directly impact on A449 and M54 Junction 2 and abuts the M54
Policy SA3 - Main traffic impacts likely to be at M54 Junction 1
Policy SA4 - Greatest traffic impacts likely to be at M6 Junction 13 and on A5/A449 Gailey roundabout. Proposed green infrastructure abuts M6.

Detailed specific comments provided for SA2 and SA4.
