Dear Sir or Madam,
Whilst I accept we have an ever growing population, there appears to be a nationwide epidemic of building on
- and destroying - our precious green belt leaving much reduced open space for our leisure and enjoyment.
I am totally opposed to building of any sort on any green belt anywhere and more especially in Walsall where I live; there are plenty of brown field sites which could and should be used instead.

I wish to make specific objection to the proposed building at the three [text I bold] following sites, firstly for the principle of reducing the local green belt amenity and secondly because of local infrastructure issues which are already at breaking point, before any new build is considered:

2) Building on green belt along the eastern flank of Chester Road in Aldridge fills the land between the railway line and Pacific Nurseries, again bringing infrastructure issues and removing enjoyment of the green space

As well as it being totally wrong to build on green belt when there is more than sufficient brown belt, there is insufficient infrastructure to support existing residents today, before 5418 new properties are considered.
Here I refer to insufficient Medical Facilities (i.e. doctors, medical service provision), schools at all key stages and the further overcrowding of our busy, blocked highways.

I totally object to the above three local green belt building proposals. I would strongly urge you to re-consider these sites and ask you to concentrate your searches on far more suitable brown field sites before our green spaces are lost forever and are totally concreted over.
