Full text:

I would like to lodge my objection to the proposed extension of Dickens Heath to the Bromsgrove border.

As a resident of Majors Green there are several reasons I object:

The further erosion of the Green Belt and open lands - this is not good for the environment we live in on a local or bigger scale. We have seen continued erosion of this land around us over many years and it needs to stop.

The impact of further houses on the existing residents. Dickens Heath has already created a much higher flow of traffic on the local roads. The already high flow have caused serious concern and damage to Majors Green residents and properties. To the point of residents almost being very seriously hurt. We cannot cope with any further traffic.

Dickens Heath itself is already very congested. Having no choice but to use the roads through Dickens Heath the volume of traffic is unmanageable through the village itself. The congestion level in the village and the amount of traffic coming out of the village is very high. Furthermore the roads are very narrow with cars parked on each side. The development itself is already over crowded.

I would like to object to any further development and ask that the proposal be refused and no further houses to built.
