Representation Summary:

Proposals for sites in smaller more expensive villages have not been carried forward due to a claimed lack of sustainability. This will create exclusive enclaves of very expensive houses and price young people out.

Wombourne has 7 sites in an overcrowded village subject to development over 40 years. The infrastructure is stretched to the limits and the two main routes in and out of the village are over-crowded and dangerous.

More should be done to retain as many green spaces as possible and make the best use of brownfield land in Wombourne or elsewhere.
