I am in support of the proposed designation of Corbett Meadow as a Local Green Space in the Black Country Plan Policy DSA4 which is at page 434 of the consulation document.
Also as an Area of High Historic Landscape Value Policy ENV5 which is at page 230.
We need green space more than ever. We hear so much about mental health and mental wellbeing and how the NHS should fund care in this area.
Connecting with nature is a cheap and easy way to achieve this. However to do this you do need these green spaces and turning every small or large free area into a housing development is not the answer.
We need more and more green areas not less and less, especially in a built up urban areas. The green area of Corbett Meadow is important both for humans and as a wildlife habitat that needs protecting once developed it is gone to all of us.
And importantly very importantly it was left to us the people of Stourbridge by John Corbett.
We must protect Corbett Meadow.
