Revised Development Strategy

This is unacceptable concentration south of the towns. WDC needs to implement imaginative insertion of some development into the Greenbelt area of the district. This is entirely possible without damaging the fundamental purpose of the Greenbelt which is actually to separate the Birmingham conurbation. Failure to do this will drive the increasing population of the Greenbelt area to leave that area and come to the south of the district or further afield. The northern district Greenbelt NIMBY protest has been taken too seriously and must be challenged.
