WAH242 policy WSA7- Calderfields West, Land at Aldridge Road, Walsall.
It is wrong to destroy the Green Belt areas when they are so important to everyones
which is now recognised even more since the recent pandemic which we are expected to
experience more of in the future. We are fortunate to have these open spaces once built on they
are gone for ever. At a time when we are trying to improve the environment for humans and wildlife
it is being threatened by building on Green Belt land.
In particular the Calderfields West proposed development borders an area of the Arboretum which
will change and spoil the open space character and landscape of that part of the park. As you walk
along the Beacon Way in the Arboretum (above the play area) there are some gardens boarding the
boundary but then it opens up to countryside where there are often horses and sheep with their
Iambs. Again so good for everyones 'wellbeing'.
