Representation Summary:

I am a resident of Dudley North and have grave concerns about the proposal in the draft plan for building in the Black Country.

Whilst I disagree with any building on green belt my main objections are in relation to the Holbeach site DUH 208 page 371 and The Triangle Duh 211 page 371

I disagree with plans to build on green belt on both of these sites!

Firstly there is a great need to support the green belt for the sake of the local wildlife, not to mention health and well being of the local residents who rely so much on these areas for their mental health and well being. I
[Redacted-GDPR] feel that this is essential never more so recognized following many lockdowns and the pandemic, removal of these sites would mean no green spaces in the surrounding areas in walking distance.

As residents we struggle with hospital appointments [Redacted-GDPR] what would this be with a massive influx of residents to here and other proposed sites in the surrounding area? This really could be life or death!

There are many reasons but I will end with congestion, it can take me an hour to travel from wall heath to Brierley Hill (3 miles) in a morning, why? Congestion!!!

There is no way we can cope with any more traffic in our village, not to mention accidents [Redacted-GDPR] on the A449, animals and children knocked over.

I object to these plans!!!
