Respondent: Mr Simon Markey

Representation Summary:

Worcester Lane Sites (DUH0206, 207 and 209)

I’m writing to register my objection to the proposed reclassification of land at
Worcester Lane Pedmore .
>
> The formal process for consultation hasn’t started yet but clearly much has already
been done to consider the merits of the location as some land previously proposed
has now been rejected .
>
> The land being considered is all currently “green belt “ and provided a green barrier
between residential areas and space for the residents to enjoy . I am very concerned
that the planned density of housing will put further strain on the local amenities and
make an already busy road very dangerous for local residents .
>
> Please can you explain the rationale for still considering these sites and the logic for
using green belt land rather than the plentiful supply of reclaimed industrial land .
