Central Government and Local Government manifesto's stated brown field sites first - protect our green belt areas - so why are we even fighting suggestions of potential of houses on these two green belt areas. We do not have the infrastructure to support more people, ie roads are already overused in every direction, Wall Heath is a bottle neck so more land will be needed for a bypass.
We simply don't have doctors, dentists of hospitals to absorb 515 + 300 houses, so potentially 4 people per household = 3,200 people additional to an already saturated system.
Following your manifesto promise & go with a brownfield site
