Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 18537

Received: 01/10/2021

Respondent: Councillor Kerry Lewis

Representation Summary:

The council should be absolutely sure that all brownfield sites have been utilised all the brownfield sites in the bourough.

There are small pockets of brownfield land in and around Dudley which should be targetted first without even condsidering our green belt.

The pressure this will have on hospitals, schools, policing, our roads and transport we are all ready over subscribed in schools and the waiting times to see a GP/hospital appointment is terrible.

Our green belt is used by many residents for exercise, walking dogs and really good for peoples mental health, with out our Green belt throughout Covid lock down many people would have suffered.

Of course not forgetting our wildlife, their homes would be destroyed.

PLEASE LEAVE OUR GREENBELT ALONE. BROWNFIELD SITES FIRST! I would like to suggest that the council generate a list of all the small pockets of brownfield land sites across Dudley. Because there are plenty out there to be used.
