In general, the preferred options strategy is welcomed. It sets out a clear strategic framework for the entire district. However, there are concerns over some of the proposed details.

Identification of Codsall as Tier 1 settlement in Rural Services and Facilities Audit does not take account of current capacity of these service and facilities. High school is at capacity, leisure centre well used with restricted opening hours and parking. Limited parking at station and trains with limited carriages that are often full - Codsall railway station is essentially a branch line with no evidence that it can sustain the level of growth proposed. Car parking at shops is at capacity between 11am and 2pm. No evidence has been provided on traffic capacity, with regards to patterns of movement, streets & parking also environmental impacts.There is no evidence base for the highway assessment to demonstrate the modelling scenarios of the proposed development impacting on the existing highway network

The proposed development of a 30-space car park on site 224 would not be adequate to accommodate/resolve present parking issues of on street parking.The proposed site allocations within this locality (4) would erode the natural landscape character and degree of separation between a large urban conurbation and Codsall/Bilbrook villages. In effect this would result in Codsall and Bilbrook becoming a suburb of Wolverhampton. Object to the development of Grade 1-3 Agricultural Land. The development in the villages of Codsall & Bilbrook does not meet the Governments fundamental aim of preventing urban sprawl and would erode defensible boundaries.

Would be more sustainable to focus more growth at Cross Green and Dunston. Some of the land allocated for employment land should also be considered for housing

Where the dph is proposed at 35 to ensure that the rural character and the edge of new settlements has a softer transition into the open countryside, these should be accompanied by a design brief that loosens the urban grain towards the edge and provides that softer transition through natural landscaping.
