Respondent: Mr David Viner

I would like to raise an objection to the following sites in the "Black Country Plan” (BCP): Wollaston Farm (DUH217), Worcester Lane (DUH 206, 207, 209), Corbett Meadow (OSA4).

I understand the land known as Corbett Meadow was gifted to the people of Stourbridge by Mr John Corbett . It is not acceptable to have this gift of land destroyed by building on it.
The reason for my objection is that these plans fail paragraph 141(a) of the
Government’s guidance for “Protecting Green Belt Land” as there is sufficient brownfield land for Dudley Borough until 2036. These green areas are also vital for people in the locality to use for exercise and recreation such as walking. Furthermore, it would displace the natural wildlife in those areas.

There is a lot of talk about building on brownfield land rather than building on the green belt. Now is the time to put words into action.
