Draft Black Country Plan

Representation Summary:

Dear sirs
I understand that you are currently in the process of conducting public consultation in respect of future plans
to build on greenbelt land.

I write to register my objections to plans to build on greenbelt land in particular; Yieldfields Hall Farm
adjacent to Bloxwich Golf Course. I personally feel that in and around Walsall there are too many vacant
buildings and brownfield land that could be developed before resorting to destroying our precious greenbelt
land and the wild life that live in it. For example, builds vacated by shopkeepers which could be repurposed
to accommodate other businesses and as residential premises.

In respect of the Yieldfields Hall Farm, I fear that this would bring traffic chaos in and around Bloxwich. We
already see the Stafford Road gridlocked every time there is an accident on the M6. Therefore, building more
houses and trading premises on this site without rethinking on how Bloxwich High street can be improved to
increase the flow of traffic or better still, to bypass altogether would be irresponsible.

I therefore urge you as planners to reject any applications that may be submitted to build on this land and
other greenbelt land in the borough.

Thank you for taking the time to read this email.

Yours sincerely
Jane Nyirenda
