Representation Summary:

With this said we now move on to our OBJECTIONS to the BCP We OBJECT to the following
DUH 208 Holbeache Page 371 BCP , Greenbelt. OBJECTION LOSS OF GREENBELT
This would result in a loss of Greenbelt for Dudley Borough, which is supposed to halt urban
sprawl. Another concern is the lack of GP, and hospital appointments. Also School spaces are currently at capacity, this then puts pressure on parents who will be transporting their children further afield, causing excess use of vehicles which is unsustainable and unfair
for residents opposite schools like our community.
As the area is agricultural land this will result in the loss of wildlife habitat. Wildlife is not just what you can see, but the unseen too. Owls rely on those fields to obtain their food, insects and bees will all be impacted.
