Object strongly to inclusion of Site 036c. Core Strategy 2012 Policy OC1 states Open Countryside should not be used for development of any kind and should be protected for its own sake, with Strategic Objective 1 recognising the importance attached to Green Belt and Open Countryside. Strategic Objective 2 recognises the importance of protecting and retaining most important gaps and the very large Wildwood Estate is adjacent to the proposed sites with local residents raising coalescence concerns. The site is good quality agricultural land and forms an important wildlife corridor. Development will reduce environmental amenities and affect the existing wildlife.

The site is within 1km of the Cannock Chase AONB and will affect its surroundings. SSDC has a duty to cooperate on housing needs, but the site would have been objected to by Stafford Borough. There is no relationship to the existing urban form and the site is remote from any settlement or services in South Staffordshire. South Staffordshire previously object to the plans in 1996 and refused planning permission when 17/00505/OUT was submitted in 2017. The Parish Council is extremely concerned about the increase in traffic as residents from the site access junction 13 of the M6.
