Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 12854

Received: 20/10/2021

Respondent: Andrew Latham

Representation Summary:

I am objecting to the proposal to build what I understand are around 35 dwellings on a plot of land, that I believe is in the Green Belt in Middlemore Lane West, Aldridge (on the corner of Bosty Lane)

The Green Belt is a precious area of open land in Walsall Borough which I believe should be preserved as open land, and not built on will in the case of this proposal congested dwellings

Middlemore Lane near its junction with Bosty Lane is a narrow road, already used by dwelling residents on one side of the road, and traffic from a nearby industrial estate. Its junction with Bosty Lane has restricted view on the right hand side, and I don't believe it would be safe in to use with a further increase in traffic.

This plot of land has been used in recent years to store horses and I think would be for better used for this type of purpose in order to preserve the open aspect.
