This is in support of policy number DSA4 page 434 of the consultation document for the corbett meadow to be become a local designated green space. I support the plan for the corbett meadow to be of high historic landscape value - policy ENV5 page 230 of the consultation document. The green space is a wildlife haven and is also grazed by cattle and horses. We have lived here for 25 years, and always known it to be grazed previously and was gifted to the people of stourbridge. It would be a travesty if this space was ever built upon as it is a very mentally rewarding space, health and wellbeing are very very important in the world we live in.! The historical importance of the meadow goes back to john corbett ,who gifted the space .
Vicarage Road is not much wider than many lanes, esprcially at the point of access to the site. The road has become busier and busier already due to the housing estate at the bottom of the road and the traffic that makes its way from the merry hill centre. The traffic doesnt slow down enough ! There have been many accidents on this road. There are many exit points already on the road, new housing already. hospital site , shop front,road into penfields estate, plus many side roads therefore all adds to congestion. we struggle to get off our drive safely. The local schools cant take much more input. Emergency vehichles struggle with the existing housing developement on the former hospital site due to cars parked outside houses as well as on drives.people tend to have a car each. Hospital visitors park in the side streets too as not enough parking on the hospital site. Therefore it all needs to stay as meadow for the good of the people and environment.
