Representation Summary:

The amount of greenbelt to be built on seems dis proportionally in the Aldridge / Brownhills parliamentary constituency. The area around Sandhills Farm in particular would urbanise a quite rural area. I understand the urgent need for more housing but this needs to balanced with protecting our precious greenbelt. I would absolutely urge that brownfield sites are exhausted before any consideration is given to building on the greenbelt. Nimbyism must be ignored at all costs too and any decisions are based purely on facts and need.
