Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 18046

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Brierley Hill Community Forum

Representation Summary:

The concern over loss of greenbelt expressed in consultations is noted, and the Forum shares those concerns - the adjacent greenbelt to urban areas is hugely valued and makes a substantial contribution towards quality of life and health to local residents across the conurbation. Addressing such concerns should not mask the challenges facing urban centres and these need to be addressed through the plan too. Consequently, we are also highly concerned about any proposals to lose highly valued green space in borough's centres.
