I wish to strongly object to anymore houses being built in and around Majors Green and Dickens Heath.
I live on the nasty bend on Haslucks Green Road, and even during this current “lockdown” it can take up to 10 minutes to safely get off my drive. The local road infrastructure cannot handle any further increase in cars users. The amount of cars on the local roads will increase steadily anyway over the next decade as all the young families on Dickens Heath start having their children reach driving age.
I believed that following objections previously that a lot of this area is high grade Green Belt.
Any further building will be very detrimental to the Local wildlife sites and woodland.
Losing green areas and sports fields will be detrimental to the children and adults that use these facilities, possibly increasing anti-social behaviour in the area.
Another major concern is the flooding we see nearly every winter now, the fields and towpath locally take absolutely ages now to dry out as there is nowhere for the rainfall to go to.
