I live on the Crestwood housing Est and use the green field site proposed for planning twice a day to walk my dog, As a woman walking my dog on my own, I feel safe in the open space as it is well lit and feel that once this area is developed, I will not have any area that is close and safe for me to walk in.

This area should and needs to be protected - have all the brown fields sites available in DUDLEY been exhausted?

The number of houses on the estate is already high and this is the one and only open area of land on the whole estate, and is already used by many people at the same.

To build even more housing on the estate would put a huge environmental pressures on an already cramped estate and cause a long-term increase in noise and air population to residents along with disrupting the existing landscape and pleasant open space currently used by children as the only area to play on, walkers and local wild life. 200 yards away you have planted 100 trees and yet you want to cut down the existing trees here on this land, this does not make sense???

My big concerns will be regarding
1. The increase in the long term traffic congestion, pollution and noise within the area;
2. Leaving the existing people of the estate with insufficient green space and a total disregard for the existing people of the estate and their needs;
3. Reducing the ability of people and children to have access to a safe open space and being unable to walk and play in an open safe lit area, thus any effect on mental health;
4. Building on greenfield site when other brown sites are available.
