Representation Summary:

Walsall council, Black Country Plan
- Land North of Stonall road. Ref: WAH237
- Land south of Stonall road. Ref: WAH253

I have lived in the Aldridge area my whole life. I am very concerned about the proposed building above as there is already heavy pressure on local schools and GP services not to mention the extra traffic it would create in the area. Also I have two very young children who love visiting their grandparents house on Lazy Hill Road and get much pleasure at looking at the crops growing in the fields and watching the tractors. I do not understand how "GREENBELT LAND" is a proposed site for building houses! It is also farmland and I feel this would be disaster for our local area but also nationally if this kind of building plans go ahead on existing farmland and greenbelt.
I understand that more houses are needed for the population but is there not brown land that could be used!?!
We have just had a global health crisis and I believe we need to look after our planet and these proposals do not preserve nature they will just contribute more to further climate issues and in turn health issues for us all! Please build on more appropriate land.
