Representation Summary:

Open leer.
After attending the meeting at Dudley town hall
On 30/09/2021 regarding the Black Country Plan and their proposal to include Greenfield sites.
Listening to all the questions and arguments put forward by the local residents and after due thought
and consideration we were confused as to why any Greenfield site had been included.
Do the planners not realise that once they include Greenfield sites any prospective developer will
ignore any Brownfield site and bid for the lucrative Greenfield sites. Leaving all the brownfield sites
unl the greenfield sites have been developed.
Do they not have the foresight to realise this.
All brownfield sites should be included no matter how difficult it may be to develop, once they have
been used then allow greenfield sites to be put forward.
As it is the council will have no control over the order in which sites are developed.
No matter what reasons and rules they quote our greenfield land will be lost forever this land is the
lungs and recreational areas for the local communities, homes to wildlife, land to provide food and
countryside to enjoy.
All This will all be gone forever.
