Representation Summary:

Reference DUH218, Guys Lane Lower Gornal.
I strongly object to this land being removed from greenbelt. This land provides a natural barrier between the current housing and the sewerage works and landfill site beyond. It also provides a natural habitat for all sorts of wildlife, including; rabbits, foxes, newts, green woodpeckers, buzzards and many others wild birds and birds of prey. There has also been issues with nearby housing suffering from subsidence meaning the land is unsuitable for building homes on. The land is valued in the community for dog walking and to observe wildlife.
