A PUBLIC consultation on plans for 450 new homes in Stonnall has ended.

Developer David Wilson Homes is preparing to submit a planning application for the Grove Hill site to Lichfield District Council.

The plans also include the potential provision for a sports pavilion, a new village hall, parking for the playing fields and additional parking for St Peter’s Church on land between Main Street, Chester Road and Church Road.

There are no proposals for a new primary school though because the existing one in the area operates below capacity – and the number of children in Stonnall is expected to fall without the development, according to the consultation. However, the plans could provide funding for a pre-school nursery.

But one resident responding to the consultation said:

> "This is a village of 2,000 people. They moved here because they want a quiet village life, but this proposal would double the size of our village, which is completely unacceptable.  
>  
> "Even from a non-selfish point, this does not have the infrastructure to cope with the massive increase in population.  
>  
> "The roads are narrow and already falling apart due to poor maintenance and being used as a rat run."

The consultation website says that the scheme would help address a housing shortage:

> "Lichfield District Council is required, under national planning regulations, to have sufficient land with planning permission that will allow 782 new homes to be built each year for five years.  
>  
> "This is not the case and the council has a shortfall of 1,055 homes. As a consequence, the council will be required to grant planning permissions to address the housing shortfall. The site at Grove Hill could help overcome this shortfall.  
>  
> "David Wilson Homes is planning to submit an outline planning application to help the council address its five-year housing land supply shortfall."
