Pouk Hill public open space, Bentley Lane, Reedswood, Walsall.

• The Pouk Hill green space area should not be promoted for new housing or new employment land development within the emerging BCP (Review).



Public open space located North of Churchill Road and the Jane Lane School, Reedswood, Walsall.

• Given its natural green space sensitivity, critical public open space importance for local residents, and urban green lung sensitivity helping to significantly reduce harmful levels of air pollution from the M6 motorway network, this green space site should be removed from the employment land allocation as shown on page 499 (within Figure 19: Walsall Spatial Strategy Plan) of the emerging BCP (Review) (2021).


Reedswood Town Park public open space

• Reedswood Town Park public open space should not be promoted as a potential new housing or new employment land development site within the emerging BCP (Review). Walsall Council should be aware that Town Parks are not appropriate locations for these types of uses given their high level of green space planning policy sensitivity.
