Representation ID: 12164

Respondent: Mrs Carol Thomas

Representation Summary:

I support all the objectives of the Environmental Transformation policy, especially ENV1 1b. The site of the former Wolverhampton Environmental Centre projects into the Smestow Valley LNR and is under threat of being used to provide fourteen homes, with a considerable effect on wildlife of increased traffic, noise and lighting. It was removed from green belt classification prior to outline planning permission being granted (now expired). The green belt area around the LNR has already been plundered for housing, for the original Redrow estate (2012), the Cedars (2014), probably to be joined by 140 houses on the college site.
