Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 12806

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Mr John O'Malley

Representation Summary:

Summary of my objections:
There has been a lack of proper consultation and due process - this is a strong concern - I don’t believe this to have been done within the parameters of such a process.
There is enough derelict brownfield sites to ensure that nothing is built on the Green belt in the Black Country for at least 10 years
The plan for Dudley is utterly askew -860 of the 1100 properties planned are in two developments less than 1 mile apart, both affecting Wall Heath.
Surely plans should be more spread out rather than focused in on such a small geography
I do not see how development on green belt can be justified.
There is a huge amount of disused brown field land within striking distance of the proposed developments I can see no realistic requirement, bar the fact developers can make more significant profits to develop these sites.
Promoting the development of brownfield first should be the priority
Our valuable green spaces and improves the look and feel of areas
The local area does not have the facilities to accommodate the new proposed residents
There are already no spare capacity in the schools
The A449 is enormously busy and noisy, the proposed developments will add traffic and also impact the flow of traffic
NHS services are already stretched, please note wait times and ratings of services.
The impact of the local wildlife will be negatively impacted
