Representation Summary:

3.34 OBJECT. The public purse should NOT pay for remediation of privately owned land. Rattlechain is not suitable for housing and is nit sustainable to deliver it. The same owners of the Coneygree site were the ones for failed to bring forward the Rattlechain site- namely Mintworth. The polluter has not paid! You fail to identify that yet know this, so what confidence in the residential proposals? A planner in Sandwell previously identified the sewage works site tied to rattlechain as "a crap site for residential"- what confidence of soundness in this daft plan for 2023!

Although the Vaughan Trading Estate and Rattlechain developments will bring benefits, this area is beset by traffic problems, lack of public transport along the A457 and poor access for pedestrians and cyclists.to the canal cycleway.. Heavy rain causes flooding across the A457 near the Vaughan Estate. Distribution developments should not be allowed, and the developments must make a contribution to addressing these problems. The Rattlechain site should give access to the Canal and Sheepwash open space..

Representation Summary:

Support the aspiration in paragraph 3.36
"Further opportunities exist to build upon the existing infrastructure, making the canals and greenspace a destination, linking to wider attractions such as the Dudley Canal Trust, Black Country Museum and Dudley Zoo, and joining up with Tipton High Street." My representation 696 sets out an enhancement to a cycle route that would provide a pleasant and convenient canalside link between Tipton High Street and railway station to the attractions listed above.
