The provision of new housing should be not be done at the expense of existing greenbelt areas.
Building on greenbelt areas at the periphery of the Black Country area would require development of new transport links and roads which in themselves are contrary to the goal of reducing the need for car use to get to and from work or local services. All possible efforts must be undertaken to use brownfield sites nearer to local services so that car use can be minimised.
