The poll, run by South Staffordshire MP Gavin Williamson, asked more than 200 residents for their views on plans to build hundreds of homes on land in Lower Penn.
It saw 99.5 per cent say they believed development would cause "irreversible damage" to the green belt, while the same figure said the homes would cause increased traffic and put strain on local health and educational services.
A total of 99 per cent of respondents said no large developments should be built in the area.
The survey follows the launch of the South Staffordshire Plan, which earmarks green sites across the district for more than 8,000 homes.
