Black Country Plan
Yorks Bridge Pelsall Site no WAH236
Coronation Road/ Mob Lane site no WAH238/240

I strongly object to green belt land being used for this type of development. Once green belt is used there is no recovering from it. There are still brown field sites in the black country area (eg corner of Wolverhampton and Livingstone Road and The old Elkington Site)

The road leading to the proposed yorks bridge site (Norton Road) is already too busy and will increase further with the yorks bridge being upgraded. The road will not be able to cope with any additional traffic from 580 extra homes.

The taking of green belt land to up date the existing Yorks Bridge required the provision of reclaimed green belt along the lichfield rd towards brownhills. How can it now be justified to take a much larger plot?
