We the household of [address], Streetly object to the BCP proposal to develop the land within Queslett Road East / Aldridge Road, Streetly on the grounds that the use of green belt locations is contrary to all local, national and international directions to protect such land whereby alternative brownfield locations are available.

Repeatedly we hear policticians and government officials claim environmnetal protection is of paramount importance and yet this proposal clearly does not meet such claims.
The importance of green belt areas for the long term protection of wildlife, climate change/flood mitigation and biodeversity cannot be ignored.

This proposal appears to do nothing in addressing already stretched local resources such as roads, schools, and doctors/healthcare.

We urge for the immediate change to the proposal to consider the use of brownfield sites and protect this necessary wildlife corridor and boundary from a sprawling Birmingham and uncontrolled urbanisation.
