Draft Black Country Plan

Representation Summary:

[Unallocated sites]

I am objecting to 'Land at Junction 3, M5' being included in the BCP after local people have previously and successfully campaigned against it, supported by our MP and local councillors. There are a number of objections that can be made, eg. greenfield site, congestion along the feeder road.

In addition, I want to question the way the process has been conducted, in particular, the subsumption of the four metropolitan councils under the title 'Black Country'. Although it is a commonly used term, it has, I believe, no constitutional legitimacy. Does this not, thereby, render the process invalid?
