I am contacting you to truly and genuinely ask not to give any permission to be able to take away our very useful and much needed Green area, locally known as The Corbett Meadow, that was gifted to the local residents by John Corbett many years ago for the purpose that it has been used for all these years. We are desperate to keep any Green area’s possible as they are quickly being gobbled up by greedy Builders etc who have no connection to our area, the area around Vicarage Road Amblecote is so busy with traffic that there is a permanent traffic jam and traffic fumes fill the air, the roads around here cannot take much more traffic, and also the traffic fumes are terrible for pedestrians, and with all the new homes that are already being built the schools are at over full capacity and so are the local G.P.Surgeries.
We would like the area to be put on the Green Space LGS in the Black Country Plan, quote Policy DSA4 which is on page 434 of the Consultation Document, and also as an Area of High Historic Landscape Value quote Policy ENV5 which is on page 230.
We understand that new homes need to be built but there is plenty of Brown belt land and also old, derelict properties etc around to use in order to keep our precious, healthy Green area’s safe, as when the Green areas have gone they will never return.
I do hope you really seriously consider the thoughts and feelings of us people that live in Amblecote DY8 and the surrounding area, we are truly disappointed that The Green Meadow with all its beauty, wildlife and healthy air is even being considered to be destroyed when it should be preserved.
