I am sending my objections for the plans to build on the WEC Smestow Valley Wolverhampton.
This area is used and enjoyed by people from the local area and further afield, it is a beautiful tranquil place full of native wildlife all I have enjoyed during a very difficult time.
[Sensitive information redacted] my visits and walks in this space have supported my mental and physical health and wellbeing throughout my illness. I know from my many conversations with people who visit the WEC that it has also helped them.
I feel privileged to have this place in Wolverhampton, linked to the railway walk it is the only place like it in
Wolverhampton,
I believe we should celebrate and strive to preserve our green spaces not try to squeeze high priced houses into a small area for short term small financial gain.
13 houses will create at least 26 cars, rubbish and waste management, noise and light pollution this will have a high detrimental impact on the surrounding areas.
I would ask for very serious reconsidering regarding building on this area, I would invite all those responsible for granting permission for building to visit this space and not just sit with a line drawn on a map, the WEC is an important space for many many people and a signature on planning permission would see it gone forever
I thoroughly and totally object to any building on this land and hope common sense will shine through, it is a small plot of land that means a large amount to many people
