Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 12935

Received: 24/09/2021

Respondent: Ms Rebecca Felton

Representation Summary:

It is entirely inappropriate to recommend the use of the current 'green belt' for housing projects. This land been designated a 'green belt' for a reason & should remain so. Instead 'brown belt' locations should be investigated to meet the increased housing demand, or regeneration of previous residental properties.

Neighbours and local residents have already complained about the volume of traffic and pollution within our village, therefore an increase in properties in this area would only further add to this issue.

Proposed new housing land near to the Pelsall north common (Highbridge & Foldfield Hall) would result in segregating the green belt areas & will ruin the picturesque scenery surrounding the common. Degradation of the green belt surrounding Pelsall North Common would devalue existing surrounding properties & force resistence who purchased properties within this area, for this green space area to relocate.
