Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 13763

Received: 10/10/2021

Respondent: Ms Linda Cross

Representation Summary:

This is a a horrible disgusting and dangerous plan to take away the only remaining green places our children will see growing up in the black country. You seem to just focus on the business side of things and not from the people's side. More and more of our vital green fields are disappearing and ugly identical buildings are shooting up, hiding nature and blocking views. All we see will be houses, factories and carparks. Where will our children get to enjoy nature and see their environment anymore.

The number of cars will rise, pollution will be above accepted levels meaning more people will suffer health conditions and need NHS care. I refuse to accept the need for homes outweighs the distruction of natural environments that make our lives pleasent and keeps our air breathable.
Think again about this decision. We are already full and taking away our only green places will impact on every aspect of our vital needs concering our mental health, medical needs and appearance as the black country becomes an ugly built-up carpark.
We deserve better and I beg you to look elsewhere for houses to be built, as always choosing poorer areas such as ours will have a knock on effect for the worst on everyone. We want to look at trees, grass and nature nearby. We shouldn't have to get on a bus and travel to a licensed park to enjoy what God intended, it should be on our doorstep.
Thanks for reading this and I hope it has a bit of a help in pursuading the council to do the right thing and rip up this terrible proposal.
