Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 22333

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Mr Richard Moore

Representation Summary:

There are many brownfield sites that remain unused because builders prefer new, easy to develop sites that bring greater profits. The homes built on these greenfield sites are not affordable for most people. More recently many shops and offices are closing whose sites
would provide extra capacity for homes in towns and cities which are in need of revival and redevelopment.
Large developments on the edge of our communities bring extra traffic to roads that are already over busy, and extra pressure on local services such as schools and health centres. This lowers the quality of life for the existing population and brings the same problems for new residents that they may not have anticipated. I do not support any loss of green space, greenbelt land or greenfield land.
