Representation ID: 12766

Received: 10/10/2021

Respondent: Birchills Agenda 21 Group

Agent: Goldfinch Town Planning Services (West Midlands)

Representation Summary:

Public open space located North of Churchill Road and the Jane Lane School, Reedswood, Walsall.
Given its green space and air pollution mitigation urban green lung benefits, this sensitive urban green lung (critical for helping to prevent a future Public Health Emergency) natural green space area should be removed from the employment land allocation within the emerging BCP (Review) (2021).

Former Reedswood Golf Course public open space, Bentley Lane, Reedswood, Walsall.
Given this area’s public open space and natural green space sensitivity, we specifically request that Walsall Council removes the ‘Core Regeneration Area’ designation and housing site allocation from this highly sensitive natural green space area within the emerging Black Country Plan (BCP) (Review) (2021).
