Draft Black Country Plan

Challenges and Issues

Representation ID: 11830

Received: 09/10/2021

Respondent: University of Wolverhampton

Representation Summary:

Access to green space and protecting the region's geological, industrial and cultural heritage should be this plan's no.1 priority. Without these the Black Country loses the significant aspects, totems and locations that give it its unique genius loci; harnessing the community to the landscape through Place-Identity. This is fundamental to ones wellbeing and community cohesion, as well as being the no.1 factor in long-term investment. I urge the teams involved to consult the field of Environmental Psychology and their striking qualitative research when considering making changes to aspects of place that underpin identity, uniqueness, culture and beauty.
