Representation Summary:
[Flint Field - LGS]
I support the application by Friends of Homer Hill Park and Gradley Then & Now for designation of Local Green Space for Site ID 10522 The Flint Field, Land North of Oldnall Road, Gradley & Wollescote. The area is a special place for the community and holds particular local significance because of its natural beauty, tranquillity, wild life, archaeology, history and recreational value. Its size and character is different to neighbouring or other greenbelt land in Gradley or Wollescote. A visit there for recreation is a different experience to visiting anywhere else in the locality, which is
demonstrated by organised walks, and the support of the Black Country Society. It's appreciated for its breathtaking views over the Black Country, and its secluded, private areas, quite different to the much larger fields overlooked by the farm and farm buildings to the south of Oldnall Road or the enclosing, towering treescape of Caslon Wood.
