Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 10843

Received: 14/09/2021

Respondent: Mrs Anne Hodnette

Representation Summary:

I object to the removal of green belt status and encroachment of housing development into the countryside. In particular Worcester Lane DUH206, DUH207, DUH209. This area is used for agriculture. It provides a habitat for flora and fauna, with wildflowers and hedgerows providing a habitat for mammals, birds and insects. The rights of way which pass through these areas look onto countryside and provide exercise, relaxation and relief. The trees in Worcester lane are dying from traffic fumes along this route. Why are you proposing to increase this instead of protecting it. There is enough brownfield land in the Borough.
