Representation Summary:

I strongly object to a plan of over 500 homes being built on Greenbelt land at Cat & Kittens Lane , Northycote Lane & Legs Lane. Bushbury . What about all the animals that have lived in those woods for years . I moved here with my Husband last year in retirement to be near the country side , this is the closest we will get to what we thought was a lovely Green space to enjoy in old age . We have spent 44 years living in built up areas and I don't want that again , I must speak for the hundreds of house holds that do live around here for the same reason. I live a 30 second walk to Northycote Lane and by looking at the plans I will be looking at 182 Homes in that 30 seconds plus further along 124 Homes then 78 Homes then in the opposite direction right next to Bushbury Crematorium another 148 Homes It's ridiculous peolple go to Bushbury crem to have quiet time with their lost loved ones , that's why Graveyards are built in a quiet greenbelt area . Neighbours have mentioned this to me about houses being built and said they won't stay here if more houses are built , It will make the Northycote Lane main road extremely busy and very noisy and this is where hundreds of dog walkers cross every day to get to the woods . So much for saving the planet and not chopping down trees , don't know who thinks to build houses on Greenbelt I bet they wouldn't want them built anywhere near where they live .
