I have serious concerns that the development of this land will result in devastating & irreversible consequences for the local wildlife including the deer that live within this area.
I appreciate the need for the new housing nationally and the impact of this at a local level, however there are much more suitable sites on brownfield land which could be reclaimed for housing with the political will of Walsall Council. The cost of this is nothing when compared to the impact on local wildlife. Although this is my primary concern. I also feel for the impact upon health of local residents both mental and physical, this land is invaluable as a 'green lung' for local residents.
I would also ask you to carefully consider the ongoing judicial reviews across the country in respect of population growth
I am monitoring the development of these cases with interest as I am sure are your planning department.
