Representation Summary:

My first objection is to the intended use of prime greenbelt land in Dudley MBC. There is no need to use this. The plan clearly shows that there are adequate sites that could be used for residential development instead - these are shown as having been 'rejected' by assessments that simply list difficulties in development - these are not good enough reasons for rejection at the expense of greenbelt. All 50+ sites should be put into the plan instead of the greenbelt and the difficulties sorted over the 15 year plan life - the easy option of using greenbelt is wrong.
