I am writing in response to proposals put forward for the area marked WOH 260 of the black country Plan. I have been living at my current address in bushbury for the last 50 years, over the last few years it has become more & more busy with a massive increase in road traffic, the development of the i54 has been a factor, but also housebuilding on goodyears' which is still ongoing. the impact of this has been noticeable higher levels of noise pollution with all the knock on effects to the environment. In north bushbury 'from giffard road/bushbury lane/northicote farm' it is considered by many people who visit northicote farm on foot, to be an oasis of greenery, a welcome addition over the last few years has been the field in question (WOH 260) which has been used for the grazing of sheep (last 6 years) and currently Fresian cows. I have seen many people from the surrounding area's - women with their children, even carer's from broadway house, bring the residents to see the animals. It is obvious for all to see it gives great pleasure to all, many things area said about people's wellbeing 'open space & greenery' can be a very important part of contributing to good mental health. In my opinion we need to do all we can to keep the area as it is, we should not be forced into having our living environment changed for the worst. I have said living here for 50 years has been a nice place to be, I want the future generations to enjoy the area as I have. these building proposals if allowed to go ahead will destroy it for them.
