The Mayor of the West Midlands Consortium, Mr Andy Street, proclaims that there are sufficient Brownfield sites within the Black Country to accommodate its housing needs. In view of this, the West Mids Combined Authority, should be required to provide indisputable proof that their housing needs cannot be met within the Black Country before pressuring neighbouring authorities to relinquish valuable Green Belt for development. Climate change is, quite rightly, of major importance and to disregard the importance of the Green Belt and other green spaces is irresponsible. Developers have had their own way for far too long by proposing sites in the Green Belt that are more profitable for them to develop, this needs to change.

Authorities and Developers make great claims that developments should enhance an area, development in the Green Belt destroys an area!
