Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 19719

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Sandwell Liberal Democrats

Representation Summary:

Part of the land for this site has a long association with the neighbouring school and provides playing fields to the local community. In addition to retaining the playing fields, any development on this site will need to mitigate for possible subsidance or other problems from previous mining avtivity in the area. As the allocation report notes, part of this site is a SINC and neighbours a bird reserve. Any development MUST be sympathetic and not destroy the delicate balance of the envirnment in the area.

As a result this propsal should be rejected unless the scale of the develpment is reduced to a level that ensure that there is little or no disruption to the biodiversity of the area and ensures the playing fields are still available to the local community.
