Respondent: Mr Andrew McNeil

I strongly object to the proposals for building on Wolverhampton Greenbelt in Bushbury North (highly defensible boundary of greenbelt) & Fallings Park (well used playing field) . The evidence and rationale provided falls far short of providing any justifiable reasons for the removal of this well used and highly valuable green belt land with very weak evidence given. This is a crown jewel area of the city, with people travelling to use, due to the poor environment in most of the city.

Bushbury North - SA-0001-WOL
Far from 'agricultural land' this site contains a well used walking/bridle track route much loved by the community of histroical significance. With many old trees and established hedgerows the contrast of the small fields with the surrouding woods is of fundamental importance to the whole landscape. The mixed country environment means that a much broader selection of wildlife than just 'fields' and 'trees'. The birdlife and raptors are well loved by all. The maps in the consultation do not reflect the landscape and environment at all. The plans will blight the 'gateway' view of Northycote Farm (historic public amenity) and remove it's context with small field.

Bushbury North - SA0002 WOL & SA0003 - same reasons as above plus the damage housing will do to the historical landscape in relation to Mosley Old Hall and Mosley Hall. This is a well used walking area and adjacent footpath - nationally recognised.

Bushbury North - SA0005 - This site allows views of the Wrekin and beyond. Is a key sink of the local rain runoff from Bushbury Hill. Already small flooding issues in the neighbourhood could be seriously exacerbated with just a standard SUD. Local children enjoy seeing farm animals grazing -of enormous benefit for City Children with little GreenBelt on the edg of a densely populated urban environment.
