I object to the development of Brandhall Golf Course (Brandhall Green Space)

I have to object to the idea of developing the Brandhall Golf Course. I use this space daily for leisure. How can anyone in the same position as myself replace what we will lose if this development goes ahead?
This green space helps me physically and mentally and i cannot imagine not having the social contact i have from others I meet while walking over it daily.
I struggle to get appointments as it is at the local Dr's surgery in Warley Medical Centre and i can not imagine the impact a larger housing estate will have on us all. This is a council housing estate, the Golf course or green space is our jewel in the crown and it upsets me that for financial gain all of this can be ignored. Does the health & wellbeing of Sandwell residents not count any more? there are plenty of other areas that could be developed where it will not have the same impact on the environment or residents as this will have. If this does go ahead it will be a huge mistake for Sandwell, flagship green spaces keep being mentioned but the demolishing of a space such as this seems to be over looked and as residents we cannot understand how this can even be considered.
