Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 19265

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Mr Ryan Baker

Representation Summary:

The proposal to build on the greenbelt will destroy natural habitat where a large number of wildlife are living including [REDACTED] along with many others.
Not only this but it will remove an area that sees a lot of foot traffic from dog walkers, hikers and elderly that use it as one of the few places they can use as it is right on their doorstep.
This greenbelt is one of the biggest pros to living in the local area as it is getting harder to find homes in such beautiful areas.
The council planted most of the trees there 20 years ago to help create this area so it seems crazy to undo all that work to build on an area that in places gets very small meaning that anything built there would simply be squashed in.
The local area will not benefit from any of this, not to mention the disruption and damage that will be caused from the proposal.
