Formal Objection to Planning Application 25/41179/OUT – Outline Application of up to 360 Residential Dwellings, Land to the North of Milford Road , Walton on the Hill, Stafford

This proposal presents a combination of significant and unresolved harms that cannot be justified in this sensitive location on the fringe of the Cannock Chase National Landscape. The development is not policy compliant; it would harm the setting of a nationally designated landscape; it would generate highway safety risks that have not been adequately addressed; it would impose unacceptable burdens on local schools, health services and infrastructure that are already at or above capacity; and it would have harmful and insufficiently mitigated impacts on ecology, biodiversity and the natural environment. Therefore, we respectfully but firmly urge Stafford Borough Council to refuse planning application 25/41179/OUT in its entirety
