I wish to add my support to the Councils continued protection of the Green Belt countryside around Lapal, Illey, Coombeswood, Uffmoor, Hayley Green, Lutley and Foxcote.
All of this countryside, which includes Scheduled Ancient Monuments and Conservation Areas is currently protected by its Green Belt designation and is indisputably of considerable linked historical and heritage value. This countryside is of immense importance as a leisure asset and must continue to be available as a natural resource for the enjoyment of the local communities and to those further afield.
The land is also a natural asset in the battle to counter the ever increasing threat from climate change. The threat of serious damage to this natural landscape by inappropriate development with its associated infrastructure is all too real and I therefore fully support the Black Country Plans commitment to fully protect it for future generations.
