Sandwell Local Plan - Reg 19 Publication

Representation ID: 1329

Received: 01/11/2024

Respondent: Miss Manisha Patel

Representation Summary:

Due to the overcrowding wouldn't it be better to build houses where there is more space such as green belt areas/country side instead of forcing people to live on top of one another. If we could spread out a bit more, people would have more space, reduce traffic, reduce burdens on services, increase jobs.
We could then turn those brownfield sites into green spaces - re-wild urban areas and make them more 'green'. I think there are other more sustainable and more efficient ways of increasing housing than continuing building on already built areas like Sandwell.
