Respondent: Berkswich Parish Council

Object to the inclusion of Site 036C, land at Cannock Road. Remote from areas of unmet need within the HMA and Stafford Borough currently does not have an unmet housing need. The environmental and social harm of the development have not been fully considered, would lead to additional traffic/congestion along A34 and Weeping Cross roundabout.The allocation would lead to additional pressure on local medical and school facilities outside the local plan area within Stafford Borough which are already
operating at or beyond capacity.Erection of a housing estate here would significantly and harmfully alter the appearance of the site and its contribution to local landscape character in contradiction of proposed policies NB1 and NB4. Will harm the views from Cannock Chase AONB contrary to Strategic Objective 11.
