I wish for it to be placed on record that I strongly oppose the proposal within the draft Black Country Plan which seeks to develop valuable Greenbelt land adjacent Walsall Arboretum and Calderfields Farm (Site Ref WAH242).

This development proposal is simply unacceptable, there are numerous other sites within Walsall which could and indeed should be developed before any consideration is given to this most valuable Greenbelt space. Not withstanding this point I also feel this development is totally out of keeping with the surrounding environment, will have significant negative impacts upon the quality of the Arboretum being Walsall's premier park and also the adverse impact the proposals will have on the quality of life of residents and detrimental effects on wildlife.
