Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 13954

Received: 08/10/2021

Respondent: Mrs Frances Fox

Representation Summary:

1. I do not find it useful to be told that an area is equivalent to x number of football pitches.
2. The areas I am most familiar with are the Sandhills, Queslett Road East and Calderfields sites
3. I think they are all suitable for extra housing, albeit much is farmland, and a balance has to be maintained between growing food and housing people
4. The difficulty here is that information is limited to the number of houses it is intended to build - what about shops, schools, welfare? - what sort of houses? 2 bed starter homes? 3 bed family homes? bungalows? flats to rent?. How can we comment when we do not know what the structures will look like. The areas do not need anymore 5 bed monstrosities as have been erected in the Aldridge Area of late - nor if it comes to that, any more retirement flats.
