Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 10748

Received: 02/09/2021

Respondent: Mrs Julie Platt

Representation Summary:

I object and wish to lobby against the massive urban extension planned for Essington (Bloxwich/Newtown), in regards to loss of green belt that our conservative government manifesto promised to protect.
Plus, generally lobby all other sites across South Staffs that have green belt land proposals.

Our green belt allows all our surrounding areas a little bit of breathing space to walk past and have a little bit of country walks after a hard days work. Would we consider building on Hyde Park? Has every bit of grass got to go, why is it named green belt meaning:-
“an area of open land around a city, on which building is restricted.”
Why have I even got to contest, lobby or object? Green belt is green belt.

> Brownfield sites to be developed and refuse the plans for development on our bit of green belt that we have left as once it’s gone it’s gone.
