Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 17093

Received: 08/10/2021

Respondent: Mrs Hasmitta Stewart

Representation Summary:

My representation / comments refer to the City of Wolverhampton draft plan and the Fallings Park Strategic allocation.

I strongly object to your proposals on building on and all greenbelt land in Wolverhampton.

This is not good for the environment as we need to ensure that there is enough untouched land which can help with drainage following heavy rainfalls and we need to maintain natural sustainable drainage sources. We also need to maintain the biodiversity that greenbelt land helps to nurture and prosper. Also I would be interested to see if these plans adhere and take into account the government's objectives to eliminate/ reduce nutrient sources (ie from waste water treatment works) which end up in or inland waterways and lead to eutrophication in the rivers and ends up destroying the ecosystems in the rivers.
