Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 11808

Respondent: Mrs Marilyn Aspinall

Representation Summary:

Two aspects are of particular concern to me
Can we rely on the number of houses government says must be built? Are figures accurate given the recent impact of people leaving the country following Brexit and the death toll of Covid. Doesn't empty retail space offer potential conversion to homes?
Secondly, to combat climate change we must plant more trees and hedgerows, not build over green spaces.
