Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 10561

Received: 16/08/2021

Respondent: Mrs Asha Patel

Representation Summary:

Land used for agriculture, graded 3a suitable for wide variety of crops. Provides valuable ecosystem for wildlife, is farmed and produces every year. There is emphasis on providing local produce post Brexit, the plan removes valuable source of income for farmers, livelihood and local employment for those working the land. Local schools are hugely oversubscribed, the road will not accommodate large increase in traffic. The site is enjoyed for natural beauty for local residents and already provides landscape and habitat for enhancement, retention and mitigation for trees and hedges. This plan creates an adverse impact on visual amenity and character.
