Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 16596

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Ms Gaye Partridge

Representation Summary:

Please note I have also sent an email to local councillors and to the Black Country Plan email address as the official and prescribed form keeps quitting.

This response is made on behalf of Cradley and Wollescote Labour Party.

Our Comments are as follows:-

We object to any loss of the greenbelt in the local area and in the wider areas of Stourbridge and Halesowen.The basis for our objections are the the original reasons for the granting of this status remain valid.

We object to any assertion that reducing the size of the greenbelt or building on it is in the best interests of the community. It is clear to us that to suggest this is the case is morally wrong, not for the social good and ethically incorrect.

We are concerned that the timing and the way the consultation has been progressed has prevented full and proper discussion of relevant local, national and global issues and that this will be to the general detriment of the Borough of Dudley.
