Representation Summary:

Black Country Reference no: WOH260

The area WOH206 isnt an area to be considered not only because it is a greenbelt land but because it is a natural defence against the weather as the climate has proven to be changing, longer rainy season's and hotter periods that without greenbelt land which have a natural defence providing a water break and a natural habitat for dwindling eco/ insect populations. These places are a place to help with our mental wellbeing. Being able to step outside and walk into a place that can help so many with difficulties, are being teared down and not protected. We do need to find new places to build but not sacrificing the green belts. I would have to ask why so many derelict sites in and around town have not been repurposed, and considered. Revenue for the town.
