Fundamentally I think the government are wrong to ask individual councils to meet a quota of housing needs. We have limited green areas in the Walsall borough and if this progression continues, we will not have any. I moved to Pheasey, paying higher house prices, to have the countryside on my doorstep and now this is potentially at risk.
Wouldn't it be a better idea to develop new towns in larger open areas to meet the housing crisis as we did with Tamworth & Milton Keynes in the past.

I'm concerned that once this land gets built on it won't take long before all the fields are gone.
