Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 14691

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Irene Wilkinson

Representation Summary:

We need to encourage new green industries to our area to bring employment and sustainable development. We have plenty of empty commercial spaces that can be repurposed.

We need to lobby the government to allow refurbished building projects to be VAT exempt in the way new builds are currently to make reusing existing buildings more attractive.

We MUST NOT build on green belt land. It should be preserved for future generations. Please note the lyrics of Big Yellow Taxi by Counting Crows and Vannesa Carlton.
