WALSALL BOROUGH SUMMARY
WAH236, WAH238, WAH240 SITES

I STRONGLY OBJECT TO THE NUMBER OF HOUSES PROPOSED ON ALL 3 OF THE ABOVE SITES AND THE SITES THEMSELVES.

IN YOUR SUMMARY OF THE "BLACK COUNTRY PLAN" THE PARAGRAPH TITLED "WHAT DOES THE BLACK COUNTRY NEED TO PLAN FOR?" YOU SAY YOU WILL PROTECT NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, YOU CANNOT DO THIS USING GREEN BELT SITES. YOU NEED TO MEET THE HOUSING NEEDS INCLUDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AS LOCAL AUTHORITIES _ALL_ HOUSING SHOULD BE FOR SOCIAL HOUSING _NOT_ PRIVATE SALES. YOU MAKE NO ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN HOW THE INFRASTRUCTURE (UTILITIES / PUBLIC TRANSPORT) WILL BE IMPROVED TO ACCOMMODATE THE NUMBER OF HOUSES PROPOSED. LOCAL AUTHORITIES NEED TO RE-PURPOSE EMPTY AND VACANT BUILDINGS FOR HOUSING USE. ALL THESE SITES WILL REDUCE THE NATURAL BORDERS BETWEEN PELSALL AND OTHER AREAS. THE ADDED IMPACT OF THE EXTRA CARBON FOOTPRINT IS INCROGOUS TO THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL CLIMATE POLICIES.
