Transport - Developments should minimise trip generation and have good access to the rail network. Development should link effectively to the strategic transport network, in particular high-capacity corridors such as the A449 and the proposed M6 link road, avoiding excessive pressure on sensitive transport links such as the A454, the urban A460 and non-strategic routes. Education - unclear how secondary needs will be addressed arising from the Linthouse/Cross Green sites - support the principle of self containment for school places agreed through SoCG. Push back over time from the Langley Road development, for both primary and secondary places, is expected to be capable of being catered for in existing provision. Health - land should be set aside at Linthouse Lane and/or Cross Green sufficient to accommodate GP consulting rooms. SSDC should develop a developer contribution system which will secure sufficient funds to deliver GP consulting rooms. LP should make clear that the Langley Road development will be required to make sufficient contributions to deliver an extra GP consulting room in south west Wolverhampton. Green Infrastructure - developments on the edge of Wolverhampton should be integrated with existing and potential GI networks
