OBJECTION

I am writing to object to the development of parts of our Green Belt.

Significant loss of countryside will no doubt impact on wildlife in the local area. As well as loss of important habitats such as hedgerows and significant tree species. This will be
devastating to those of us who enjoy nature and enjoy that it is so close and easy to access.

Roads such as Cot Lane and Stream Road are bumper to bumper with traffic; it is regularly a long wait to pass through the traffic lights by the Harvester Pub at the junction of Cot Lane and Lodge Lane. The A449 also has an extremely large volume of traffic throughout the day.

Additionally more local residents would put increasing pressure on our local services such as schools, doctors and Russell’s Hall hospital.

There has been no real investment in the area in terms of leisure and recreation other than an improvement to Cot Lane park lead and funded by a local action group.

In the Black Country we have much in the way of brownfield sites, some of which have already been
developed.

I hope you see sense and listen to the objections I know friends, neighbours and local residents will make against this particular part of your Black Country Action Plan.
