SAVE BARNT GREEN’S
GREEN BELT!
340 homes on three greenbelt sites
The Bromsgrove Draft Development Strategy calls for 340 new homes to be built across three greenbelt sites (see here for excerpts relevant to Barnt Green).
The plans threaten to destroy the fundamental character of the village area.
Barnt Green is a small village with no infrastucture to support the development - the plans ignore this, referring to Barnt Green as a “large sustainable settlement”.
