Representation Summary:

I would like to state my objection to the plans for housing development on Moseley Road green site. The area of land is a well used piece of green land. I know this as I live right opposite this beautiful piece of shared green space. My husband has lived in the area all his life and myself have used the space for over 30 years. The space is used daily by all walks of life - walkers, fishermen and most of all a very lovely space for families to meet and socialise. I have no objection to providing housing for those who need, but before developing land which is so precious and utilised, surely maximising the use of housing we have should be a priority. The loss of green outdoor space on the Moseley Rd would once again reduce the exposure of all generations to the beautiful space we have. The spaces beauty changes through the seasons and provides real opportunities to learn children about nature and wildlife. We did this ourselves with our own children.
I strongly object to the utilisation of the Moseley Rd space. Please leave this land alone to continue to provide beautiful green space for generations to come.
