DUH217- Grazing Land Wollaston Farm

I am objecting to the planning proposal for houses on the fields between Kingsway and Hyperion Road. It is a well used route enjoyed by many local people. Many local people in the area do not have access to gardens and need this green oasis to walk through or just to look out on for their physical and mental health.
Stourbridge has a lot of new housing being built along the canal on old factory and warehouse land, and the Longlands site. The schools and services in Stourbridge and Wollaston have not increased to cope with the increase in population. Green areas are needed, as the last 18months have shown.
Putting these relatively few houses on the field in Wollaston does nothing positive for the local area, and takes something away from people who live there.

Dudley needs to preserve its Green areas.
