Representation Summary:

Green belt should be used for overspill housing – erodes the integrity of the green belt.
Whereas building on some of South Staffordshire’s 80% green belt may have minimal effect on character the erosion of South Staffordshire boundaries due to these developments will have an effect.
Green belt is a public good and once lost cannot be replaced.
If developers or builders were to start but not complete work om all the green belt sites, then the worst of all worlds would have arrived: lost green belt but not completed sites with fewer houses but no amenities.
There should be a triple lock on green belt land.
Seven Cornfields land is grade 5 green belt land.
