I am dismayed to learn that the applicants of the proposal to site 165 new houses on Longwood Lane have decided to appeal the decision and take the matter to a public enquiry.
This type of development on Green Belt land is totally inappropriate in my view and was correctly rejected by Walsall Council.
More than 200 residents across the local area made valid objections and these were taken into consideration at the time of rejecting the application.
Whilst we await details of the form of the public enquiry, please be assured that Councillor Andrew and myself will continue to oppose this inappropriate development.
