I object to the plans to build on Green Belt in Pelsall.
It will destroy one of our very few local areas of undisturbed nature. We will lose an area where we can enjoy the nature that is on our doorstep and which we don't need a car to access. It is a lovely local area and is well used by dog walkers, children and nature lovers and we will have to travel to find similar elsewhere (causing more cars to be on the road, adding to congestion and pollution). It is a very high cost to the environment to lose green belt and agricultural land to housing. To continue to lose these relatively small areas of nature will gradually add up to more damage to the environment as a whole. Please consider the problem of climate change causing problems like flooding etc. To think it will be lost forever is quite devestating and upsetting. I am also concerned about the extra congestion on the roads in the Pelsall area that the considerable number of extra housholds will bring.
Surely there are areas in Walsall and Pelsall that need regenerating, areas of brown belt, derelict and unused buildings that can be bought and developed before considering using Green Belt?
