Much is made of the importance of open space and biodiversity throughout this document and yet there is a major bias on development and not on brownfield land first land where it is considered prohibitively expensive to develop. This will mean that derelict areas remain derelict and could continue to significantly impair green routes acorss the black country. This comment is placed here but is relevant to a range of areas within the document. More should be made of facilities supporting brownfield development such as University of Wolverhampton’s Brownfield Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC).
