The following comment applies to the Pelsall proposal site numbers WAH236 (Yorks Bridge) and WAH238, WAH240 (Coronation Road/Mob Lane)

I have just received the Black Country Plan through my door which identifies sites for future housing in the Pelsall area and I am absolutely horrified at what they are proposing.
Both the Yorks Bridge site and the Coronation Road/Mob Lane site have grown into areas of natural outstanding beauty.
Climate change is a real issue now and how we need green belt which will act as effective flood planes in the future, are safeguards we cannot afford to lose. I have witnessed personally outside the front of my house how the common land absorbs the now all too frequent heavy rainfall events.
This is not a case of "not on my patch" either. The proposed site for a new Aldi, literally on my doorstep, could provide an area for a number of affordable homes, along with many other Brownfield sites.
This development needs to stop now, before it's too late.
