Sir. Much has already been made of the pressure on the local area that the influx of thousands of people will bring, much to the detriment of those in situ, their presence masking what they might have expected to enjoy.
Wall Heath is one of those small backwater villages that the gems of these often green spaces are a big part of their attraction, in removing them will detract considerably. It is all too easy to criticise another's endevers to create this Black Country Plan, and walk away without its responsibility, so I offer a (in part) solution.
:- It may not have come to the planners notice that a sizable brownfield site may soon become available for development in the Kingswinford area, this being in Stallings Lane, though not as large, it will be a less contravertial offering.
Finally may I take this opportunity to remind our local authority, that it is (among others) their function to look after the residents interests.
I hope you do not disappoint.
