Fallings Park- Strategic Allocation:

The building of 303 homes on green belt land is strongly objected to. Why is so much green belt land to the north of Wolverhampton being proposed to be built on? Before releasing green belt land other options need to be considered:

1. Use brownfield sites as a priority- as these sites already have relevant infrastructure in place. Brownfield sites would accommodate affordable housing more readily. It is a known fact that developers prefer green belt land as a way of making vast amounts of profit on the building of non-affordable homes. Incentives should be given to developers to build on brownfield sites.
2. City/Town centres should be re-configures to include housing- as many city and town centre offices and stores have lay empty for many years. Green spaces could be provided in the city and towns, thereby these areas become pleasant places to live and within a short distance from shops, restaurants and public transport. Therefore less need for the use of a car.
