Regarding document Black Country Plan - page 608, ref WOH274 WTNA, WEC Smestow Valley,
Wolverhampton.

I wish to raise strong objections to the above proposal, and oppose any development on this sacred
bio diverse land. This beautiful area is teeming with all types of wildlife, some which is in sharp
decline. It is used by families with young children, whose futures will be affected by any loss of such
beautiful land, as well as dog walkers and simply those who wish to enjoy the beauty's day peace of
this area. At a time when global warming is a reality it is wrong to destroy such an important area,
which contributes to absorption of carbon emissions. Any wildlife however small, is part of a food
chain in nature and should not be destroyed.
Any development of the area, however small, will change the area forever. Indeed the small area
previously used by the council was only changed from green to brown land to suit their greedy needs,
and was only ever used for growing plants. Not exactly in the spirit of brown land! It is not only the
housing, but the required infrastructures that will affect the area.
There is so much brown land available between Wolverhampton and Birmingham as you travel along
the railway. This should be your priority!
