DUH 211 The Triangle 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.
Unacceptable again as this land is bordered by South Staffordshire and this will mean no greenbelt buffer between our county boundaries. Dudley has hardly any greenbelt left. We need to preserve this. If there is a shortage of housing - then allow people to go & purchase where there isn’t a shortage. Other counties have plenty of Brownfield land and they should be encouraged to develop... that not first - but always.
These are the last two remaining greenbelt sites in Dudley South which will certainly cause irreversible harm to wildlife and their habitats, cause pressure on our NHS , schools and local services.
