Representation Summary:

This objection relates to the inclusion of Peak House Farm, Wilderness Woods and Aston University Recreation Grounds in the Black Country Plan as part of the call for sites.

I give my wholehearted support to Sandwell Council re their decision to save Great Barr’s Greenbelt.

It would be a sin to build on this wonderful oasis of green space. If this was built on the whole character of the area would be lost, but also it would have such a devastating impact on all of the following:-

Traffic - Extra traffic in an area that is overwhelmed by congestion - doctors - schools - dentists.

Pollution - Also bearing in mind that there is already concern regarding air quality and carbon dioxide emissions, to lose such a wonderful open space with ancient hedges and established trees would add to the problem.

It is wonderful that Sandwell Council are supportive of not including this land for re-development is a credit to everyone who can see the benefit of retaining this precious site.

Well done Sandwell, , Nicola Richards ,Andy Street, Liam Gallagher, Mark Smith, Beacon Action Group & everyone else supporting this cause.

Chris Cliff
