Representation Summary:

Black country plan REF DUH 206,207,209 (Worcester Lane Sites)

Please note that I wish to Object to the proposed development of these three sites.
Grounds being
1) Destruction of natural habitat to many wild bird species , small mammals, and bats
2) Loss of an important leisure facility for the people of Stourbridge, walking, jogging, bird watching, pigeon racing and model aeroplane flying
3) Highway safety. The B4187 is a fast 'winding" road with a history of nasty vehicle accidents
4) Local infrastructure insufficient to cater for a large influx of families
5) This area of land is a natural buffer separating the borough of Dudley , West Midlands from Hagley a large village in Worcestershire without which it becomes one large conurbation blurring the identities and histories of the two parts.
6) Proposed development is out of keeping with local area
