Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
4. Reviewing the Strategy to Meet New Challenges and Opportunities

Object to any release of Halesowen Green Belt for development. This countryside is beautiful and historic and one of the few havens for wildlife, widely accepted to have some of the best landscape in England, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. It is unthinkable that where Constable painted the Hay Wain would ever be developed. I regard this area as Halesowen's "Hay Wain." There are large pockets of brownfield eyesores in the region that should be developed. It is less costly for developers to build on virgin land. If no new Green Belt is released through planning then these brownfield sites will ultimately have to be used and cleaned up. This is what local people desire.
