Re: Draft Black Country Plan July 2021 (the Draft Plan)
I have the following comments to make on the Draft Plan:
1 Consultation
My constituents who have contacted me are alarmed that they have not been able to access the documents relating to the Draft Plan and those that have been in a
position to access the documents have raised concerns about short length of time they have to comment on the proposals.
The documents have been available online only and whilst there have been some physical meetings, the latest provided by Walsall Council was on the 24 September 2021 with a closing date for the consultation of 11 October 2021.
Moreover the start of the consultation, which seems to be the case for controversial plans, was undertaken during the Summer holidays and at a time, early September, when families are getting organised for the start of the new School year.
In addition, the pandemic continues and those elderly citizens who may not be able to access the internet, would not be able to attend the in-person meetings.
Therefore my constituents have had their democratic rights to take part in this important local process hindered and obstructed, severely limiting participation in this consultation.

It is claimed that there are exceptional circumstances now regarding the need for housing and commercial premises, I believe that there is no justification for removing the protection on greenbelt and greenfield land. It can never be replaced as a source of pleasure and enjoyment for the community. It is not sustainable to build on our countryside, resulting in loss of farmland, natural habitat for wild life, hedgerows and trees.
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 the new residents that they may not have anticipated. I do not support any loss of green space, greenbelt land or greenfield land.

[General Greenfield/ Brownfield]
It is claimed that there are exceptional circumstances now regarding the need for housing and commercial premises, I believe that there is no justification for removing the protection on greenbelt and greenfield land. It can never be replaced as a source of pleasure and enjoyment for the community. It is not sustainable to build on our countryside, resulting in loss of farmland, natural habitat for wild life, hedgerows and trees.
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 the new residents that they may not have anticipated. I do not support any loss of green space, greenbelt land or greenfield land.
