I objected to the earlier draft when 80 houses were proposed and my reasons are the same as before. The additional houses will only compound the potential problems associated with a build in a flood risk area, and will have a detrimental impact on local residents, roads, traffic etc. the Birmingham road has frequently flooded, as have the fields either side, and I would anticipate this to be an escalated problem with additional housing.
Also the Birmingham Road has seen a huge increase in traffic over recent years and will be unable to accommodate the huge impact to traffic that would be evident with all the local proposed additional housing, not just H28 and H53, but also the local villages.
I believe local schools are already at capacity so again anticipate problems placing the anticipated increase in school children. The same applies to health services, and pre-school placements.
Increased pollution is a concern. It has been pointed out to me that there is a heightened number of asthma suffers locally, potentially due to the proximity to several motorway networks, the increased traffic would only increase this risk
