I knew nothing about this plan until a few days ago when I received a newsletter called Focus issued by the Lib Dems. It mentioned a green belt site they named as Tanhouse Playing Fields which is listed as a site for possible house building . The site is adjacent to a busy rail line carrying heavy freight trains day and night, it is adjacent both to the Sandwell Valley and the Tanhouse RSPB sanctuary, it is on ground beneath which disused coal mining tunnels lie or are nearby (previously used until the 60's and linking Hamstead colliery with the Jubilee colliery) ,already busy roads in Tanhouse Avenue and Hamstead Road, the site having a right of way by usage - about 70 years to my knowledge etc etc. I have lived [location redacted] since the early 1950's.
