We object to the building of homes on the greenfield site referenced above due to the following concerns
- once build on there is no going back to greenbelt !
- There are plenty of brownfield sites that could be prioritised to protect an area of natural beauty, habitats for wild birds and animals. Reuse old sites/ properties before new build.
- The designated area is a prime agricultural spot for growing food post Brexit.
- Removing growing land will reduce the absorption of CO2 for global warming and new build will increase CO2. How does this fit in with the "Black Country Green Policy"?
-There is not the infrastructure of roads, schools, clinics etc to support this number of houses.
- there will be increased traffic, noise & dust pollution during the prolonged building process
