I have today set up a petition for the above propostion in response to a a few enquiries from concerned local residents .
This is a new site under the SWDP so we have a right to object to it. I will be consulting local residents in the next few weeks so all our views are heard, I campaigned for a roadshow to be put on at the Midland Road community centre last year to explain what the SWDP meant for our community, but these never happened . I am determined to make sure all of our views count, So please can all the people who object to this scheme please contact me, if you don't know what it is about then please contact me directly so that I can explain this to you.

Petition to Object to Land Identified in the SWDP at Stanley Road to be allocated for Housing purposes
Petition Summary: We the Undersigned object to the former PRU Site on Stanley road to be allocated as housing land. This is due to several factors. Stanley road is the HUB of a thriving local community which is saturated with businesses, schools, community centers, Care homes, Mosques & high de...nsity flats. The area already suffers from horrendous parking issues as it is and the development of extra houses will only serve to add pressure to the area. The new development at Lowesmoor and commuter parking already means that residents don’t get to park in their area during the day. The proposal to add yellow lines on Wyld’s Lane, will mean displacement to Stanley Road, Midland Road, the community Centre and Compton road which are already full to capacity. The site is also next to one of the busiest schools in the city and it would cause havoc during the rat run. This scheme would be insensitive of the local authority & just fulfill numbers in the SWDP. Local resident’s needs and the impact it would have on the local infrastructure have to be taken into account. We hope that our views counted.

Land is only allocated for housing in the SWDP if officers believe the land will become available for that purpose.
ReplyDeleteThe current owner of the land is Worcestershire County Council so it can reasonably be assumed that the council has said that it hopes to sell the land for housing.
How has the County Councillor for this area (Cllr Ditta) allowed this to happen? Perhaps he ought to be challenging this.
Local people who object should make their views known to Cllr Ditta - as well as to the South Worcestershire Development Plan officers.
