By Email 9 December 2019 SSC Local Plan Review Green Bely Area By Email 9 December 2019 SSC Local Plan Review Green Bely Area GREEN BELT CONCERS SSC HOUSING STRATERGY PROPOSED AREAS FIELDS AROUND THE ROE DEER PUB AND FRIARS GORSE Dear Sir / Madam I would like to register an objection to the proposed green belt development along the A449. At present when you leave Wordsley along Lawnswood Road and move into Staffordshire it represents the gateway to some of the most scenic countryside in the UK. From that point travelling west through Staffordshire, Shropshire and into Wales it is a beautiful journey. The proposed building on this green belt site will only lead to more building until the countryside that we know will have been destroyed. The proposed development has no anchor in South Staffordshire as the nearest village is Kinver. It is understandable if a proposed development is connected to an existing developed area such as Kinver, Bobbington or Wombourne but this proposal is totally from scratch with no amenities at all, it would be a new village / township. What are the implications of this proposal to build 500 to 2500 houses? At present the existing roads including the A449 and the A491 will be totally inadequate to cope with a potential 5000 cars, vans lorries and buses. The current traffic situation on both the major roads is very congested with the A491 gridlocked for most of the day. Already the train stations along the line from Stourbridge to Birmingham are full of commuters so that late comers have to park on the road. This proposed development will only make the situation far worse. Kinver which is in South Staffordshire has to rely upon its Doctors surgery to be administered by the surgery in Kingswinford which is to the detriment of the patients in and around Kingswinford. There is only one major hospital in the Dudley area which is Russells Hall and that would really struggle to cope with the inhabitants of 500 houses never mind 2500 The green belt is something that every effort must be made to preserve, once it has gone there is no coming back With this proposed development the quality of life for a lot of the inhabitants of the surrounding area will be for the worse with increased air pollution, loss of the local green belt area to walk, run, cycle and exercise the dog in a safe environment.. In future to partake of the countryside people will have to travel in a car thus adding to the emissions in the atmosphere. They will be denied the opportunity of listening to birdsong and catching a whiff of freshly cut grass, the sounds and smells of nature which are enhanced in the countryside. Arrangement will have to be made for schooling, the nearest schools are in the West Midlands but they would struggle to absorb the numbers that are being quoted. The area that South Staffordshire Council have designated for development is an area of outstanding beauty. The houses that are in Lawnswood Road are million pound houses, developers will not be keen to build 2 and 3 bedroom houses which are the houses that are needed to satisfy the demands of those who want to get on the housing list. They will be the same luxury properties that will see people moving from the West Midlands thus defeating the objective of South Staffordshire to reduce its housing waiting list. I would suggest to South Staffordshire that it rethinks its plans and give greater consideration to adding to existing conurbations where most of the basic requirements are in place Your faithfully D. R. Thomas Wordsley .

  • Kinver Neighbourhood Plan First Consultation Issues and Options Appendices
    Kinver Neighbourhood Plan First Consultation Issues and Options Appendices. Appendix 1. What is a Neighbourhood Development Plan? 1.1 Neighbourhood Development Plans (NDPs) were introduced through the Localism Act 2011 to give local people a greater say in planning decisions that affect their area. NDPs are neighbourhood level planning policy documents with policies designed to reflect the needs and priorities of local communities. 1.2 NDPs can identify where development should take place, set out local design principles so that buildings respond positively to local character, and protect important facilities, historic buildings, the natural environment and open spaces. Made (adopted) NDPs are part of the local statutory development plan for their area. Planning applications are determined in accordance with the Neighbourhood Plan unless ‘material considerations’ indicate otherwise. (‘Material Considerations’ are factors provided for in planning law, such as Highway safety and access, capacity of local infrastructure, effects on listed buildings, loss of light or privacy etc.; and higher-level planning policies including emerging policies). 1.3 A Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) can cover a range of planning related issues. This document has been prepared as a first step in setting out the possible scope and range of planning issues the Kinver NDP could cover and potential policy options for addressing these issues. 1.4 It is important to remember that our Plan has to be ‘in general conformity’ with higher-level strategic planning policies. This means it has to sit within the strategic policies in the South Staffordshire Core Strategy, adopted in 2012 and accompanying policies maps1, and cannot provide for less new housing than allocated in the South Staffordshire Local Plan.
