Representation Summary:

DUH 203 M plan Quarry

We strongly object to using this pleasant piece of land to build on. Due to clearing of the land opposite Aldi, we have already lost, Owls, Bats and Foxes. Poeple complain of Badgers and foxes causing damage to gardens , but what other choice have these lovely creatures, if we constantly destroy their natural habitat? Young people meet up there causing no problems. Where will they go? People walk there to enjoy fresh air and walk their dogs, which is good for our mental health. On top of these issues what about the capacity of the roads? Congestion is already a problem. Doctors, schools etc will be under greater pressure. We cannot keep taking down trees and destroying our green spaces. Kingswinford has always been a lovely village, please don't turn it into a suburb of Birmingham!!
