I am objecting to the plans to build on the greenbelt land. It will make the area overcrowded and lose its appeal, it would be displeasing to see more buildings, bringing more traffic and pollution. We do not want more traffic in our road risking our children's life's.

It will put pressure on services such as gullies, drainage, schools, medical services, etc. The drains and roads in nearby Moseley / Springfield flood when it rains, removing our trees and green land will make this problem worse.

We need to be protecting our environment and nature, not destroying it. Where will the wildlife go? The species that are at risk?

It would be detrimental to people's physical and mental health. Being outside in nature is so beneficial to a person's wellbeing. Removing this natural form of taking care of one's self is only going to add more pressure to already stretched health services. The appeal of this area for me was the closeness of the green spaces right by us and the field opposite us brings us great pleasure when it is occupied by the sheep or cows.

I feel there are many brownbelt sites that need to be explored before destroying our greenbelt. Once this is gone we can never get it back. There are many brownbelt sites around the area that have been le derelict and abandoned for years. The government pledged not to build anymore on greenbelt. These plans contradict this.

It can be destroyed in a matter of moments, but these lands have been here for many many years, enjoyed by many previous generations. Why are you taking this away from our future generations? I see you have already put up masts, encouraging more young people to stay home on electronic devices, not outdoors enjoying nature. This would be so bad for our future generations.
