Respondent: Save Wollaston Green Belt

Representation Summary:

I wish to object to loss of 'all greenbelt sites' in Dudley's Black Country Plan.
In particular I wish to object to plans to see off Council owned land at rear of the Kingsway, Wollaston, site no DUH217. This is a delightfull, historic site full of wildlife at the moment. Walkers and path users of all kinds are able to enter the countryside via these paths a vital 'clear you head pathway' particular users on the Kingsway estate escape relitive poverty through this gateway.
The knocking down of two semi-detached houses would be required to enable access - that 2 more houses lost. In particular the access would lead to more land loss of the green belt in the future as the land is landlocked at the moment - providing a vital safeguarding of the green belt. Identical land down to the canal would be at risk!!
I am also concerned about gridlock of cars and danger to pedestrians on the Kingsway, another 150 cars cannot be in anyway suitable for this road. Should be disallowed on this danger too. School at St James is extremely busy - the infrastructure problems are no solvable, due to the narrow roads.
