DUH041 Land rear of Two Gates Lane, Cradley; DUH214 Seymour Road, Wollescote; DUH059 New Hawne Colliery (part only). I do not believe it is possible to put in place sufficient mitigation to make up for the loss of any greenbelt or green space to a community. Developments within or on the edge of our communities also bring extra traffic to roads that are already over busy, and extra pressure on local services such as schools and health centres. This lowers the quality of life for the existing population and brings the same problems for the new residents that they may not have anticipated. I strongly object to any loss of green space, greenbelt land or greenfield land.
There are many brownfield sites that remain unused because builders prefer new, easy to develop sites that bring greater profits. The homes built on greenfield sites are not affordable for most people.
More recently many shops and offices are closing whose sites would provide extra capacity for homes in towns and cities which are in need of revival and redevelopment.
