Draft Black Country Plan
Representation ID: 11415
Received: 01/10/2021
Respondent: Mrs Lynne Hemming
Representation Summary:
Objections to housing in areas WAH242 & WAH233 etc
It is Green Belt land so should be protected.
The housing proposals will fragment the Green Belt which will affect all Green Spaces concerned, leading to a loss of the Open aspects surrounding Walsall Arboretum & Country Park.
Rare species of birds will lose their habitat on the Calderfields Farm area and the wildlife corridors present will be destroyed. Hedges that are natural nesting and food sites will also be destroyed.
A planning application was rejected in 2014 as it would result in significant harm to Green belt & openness.
