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.
This site should also not be promoted for new housing development within the emerging BCP (Review).

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.

Former Reedswood Golf Course

• This green space site should be removed from the new housing site allocation as identified on page 510 (Proposed Housing Site Ref: WAH244) of the emerging BCP (Review) (2021). This site is not suitable for new housing development as it forms a very sensitive 'Greenfield' site. The site does not form previously-developed land (urban brownfield land) as claimed by Walsall Council.
