I am objecting to the building on green belt land at home Farm, Sandhills, Walsall.
The main purpose of green belt and is to control and restrict urban sprawl thus maintaining land for agriculture, forestry and habitats.
urban sprawl (or building on green belt) is the biggest threat to climate change. Sprawl is low density it is resource hungry and an inefficient use of land.
Brownfield land is a renewable source. The green belt is not. We are not running out of brownfield land anytime soon. When the green belt is gone it is gone forever.
Also the Lichfield Road and surrounding areas is blighted by heavy traffic day and night. Building 800 homes in an area, which has traffic related problems, traffic jams, pollution (which the greenbelt we have absorbs some of this pollution) and accidents, which we seem to have every month. In September we had two accidents in one day! It is insanity to even contemplate this planning proposal.

Strongly object the Home Farm Sandhills planning proposal.
