I am wring this email to express my opposion to the Black Country Plan Housing development. I am
extremely opposed to these plans due to the following reasons;
1. All three sites are within and form part of Great Barr Green Belt and should remain protected.

2. remaining acreage are Green Belt fields and mostly high quality agricultural land.

3. Peak House farm/Wilderness lane is not only Green Belt, an untouched beautiful green field, within the Conservation Area.

4. Peak House farm/Wilderness lane fulfils the aims of Green Belt in that it acts as a buffer separating the built up areas and thereby prevents urban sprawl.

5. The loss of our natural open countryside views would be lost forever to the detriment of us and our future generations

6. The infrastructure cannot take more traffic, more sewage, more light pollution, more flooding and six years of construction traffic on our narrow congested lanes. Footpaths along Street, are not continuous and serve local schools. They are heavily used by students, teachers and parents walking to and from their respective schools. This potential mix of pedestrians, narrow unlit lanes with poor sight lines, no continuous footpaths (on blind bends) and large
construction vehicles presents a very real dangerous risk to life and property.

7. Peak House farm/Wilderness lane serves as a wildlife corridor and its loss would impact on their numbers.

I hope you take these points into consideration, it would be a great loss to our local area
