| 1 | Si Roberts | No to profit over people. Yes to Greenbelt principles over Development Creep. Simple As.
Furthermore even proposing to site a "social club" (i.e. pub) within this beautiful vista with it's views down the Stour Valley and out across the Clee Hills of Shropshire is as thoughtless as it is laughable. |
| 2 | Anonymous | There are enough alternative sites around for the sports ground that would actually have a positive effect so why take the dangerous step of beginning to build on green belt land? |
| 3 | Anonymous | Green belt land is just as important to our children as sports grounds |
| 4 | Anonymous | I love walking over the hills |

| 6 | for it | Its about time this land was used, it is wasted space. the cricket club would be a perfect solution. Why not give the school more land, its your kids that will be going to it, why deprive them?. The only reason people are objecting is they would no longer have anywhere for their dogs to mess, their kids to play on trial bikes and no where to dump their rubbish over the back fence! |
| 7 | Caroline Watkins | Leave us space to breathe ! Leave the wedge alone ! |

| 9 | sue yeadon | Fear that,given St Modwens aggresive planning history, this is just a forerunner to alter greenbelt status to allow for further develoment. Halesowen people are tired of losing their green spaces for others to profit ! |
| 10 | frank hill | this green wedge needs to be preserved |
| 11 | nikki edwards | i think it is disgusting they want to build on this land. have we really got to loose all of our green land and wildlife |

| 14 | Georgia Clare | This is a monstrous proposal to develop on greenbelt land. The whole area is one of conservation and, for the sake of the children for many generations to come, must be left alone. |

| 16 | Anonymous | As a 42 year old and living here for 30 yrs, i've enjoyed Coombeswood as a child and an adult and watched saplings grow into trees and realise as I get older the importance of green spaces in built up areas and feel very strongly that St Modwens should stay away. |

| 18 | Anonymous | There is no justification for despoiling precious green belt land in an area where so much brown field land can be improved. |
| 19 | David Johnson | Green belt should be protected; trees and grassland preserved. No development should be allowed in this vitsl wedge. |
| 20 | David Read | A SINC should be a SINC and St Modwen should not be allowed to ride roughshod over the designations. I really wonder what Dudley MBC will make of the planning application though - remeber Castle Hill ????????????? |

| 25 | Gina Byfield | I object to the proposal by St. Modwen's 100% and this area of green belt should be protected for now and always |
| 26 | george byfield | Please note my objection. This greenbelt should be protected and not built on. |

| 29 | Dave Woodruff | No to any development- we have lost too much green belt and access land as it is. |

| 31 | Mrs Judith Smith | This land is too valuable to people and wildlife to destroy. I believe the clue is in the title...'protected green belt land.' How can these developers even consider this project? Have St Modwens lost sight of the important things in life? This is such a small patch of land but so very important to keep safe for all to enjoy.St Modwen's may I suggest you find somewhere else to 'develop'. |
| 32 | Jake Nicholls | This is the only green space in the area for us and for the wildlife, whose habitat is ever diminishing.
St Modwens destroyed Quinton Meadows and many other places around the country, we must not let it happen here. |
| 33 | Anonymous | We must look to the future and preserve this area and others like it. St Modwen claim to be a responsible developer yet they have already destroyed adjoining areas of the coombeswood site seriously degrading its wildlife potential. |

| 36 | clementine wesley | St Modwens are a terrible organisation.They have a history of playing dirty and in the process destroy communities. I urge everyone to fight this company. |
| 37 | Nick Oakes | A site that I have visited since my childhood, with a wealth of flora and fauna, and being composed of one of the sparsest and least-encountered habitats in the Black Country, indeed even the West Midlands. I would truly resent such a project as that proposed by St. Modwen to be undertaken - the value of this site as an ecological oasis should indisputably be clear to all. |
| 38 | sue westbury | leave our greenbelt land alone for everyone to use.Dont spoil it for the sake of monetry gain. |
| 39 | Terry Greenhouse | Having purchased my property i have some of the finest scenic views in the area i certainly wouldn't want to lose this. Also i wouldn't want to lose any of the wildlife and rare butterflies over there. THE FIGHT MUST GO ON. |
| 40 | Anonymous | i love this unique piece of land - once it is disturbed in any way the widlife will vanish - there are bits of it already being destroyed with trees being I imagine unlawfully cut down to degrade it possibly to give weight to future negotiations - whoever is responsible should be heavily fined - schools should use this fantastic resource and future generations should be taught to love and respect such a valuable local asset. |
| 41 | Anonymous | Halesowen is a very histroical part of the west midlands and must remain so. All power to your elbows and i hope you win this petition. |
| 42 | k. windsor | greenbelt is greenbelt, it must be protected and left alone. |
| 43 | Anonymous | It is imperitive that this green wedge of land is saved for widld life as the proposed usae for sports facilities will be very detrimental to the wild life in the area. Surely brown field sites can be found for the playing fields. |

| 46 | John Ebrey | Please see my Email sent today to the action group with regards to the unique and special value of Coombeswood Reserve to the local wild bird populations. |
| 47 | Gloria Hunt | Green belt land should be accessable for all, building destroys the habitat of wildlife and by continuing to build on every piece of geen belt there are long term consquences for climate and environment |
| 48 | Mrs J Robinson | Myself and my Husband live on Lodgefield Road, opposite the Coombs Wood Sports and Social Club, and have done for the past 12-13 years. We moved to this house for a number of reasons, one of which played a major part in our decision to buy this house. The pleasant view and the opportunity to see one of our oldest English sports being played and walking around the beautiful, peacefull grounds. The view from our front window is one that many many people would like to see from their homes, TREES! We have NEVER had any problem with the social club and feel sure that if new homes were built on the site, we would suffer not only financially (who would want to buy a house with a housing estate opposite?) if we wanted to sell, but there would be excessive noise, traffic, a complete mess while building work was being carried out and end up with an eyesore!! What a shame it would be if we could not continue to use this very natural designated area for ourselves and our grandchildren, but instead have to look a bricks and mortar. THIS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN! |

| 50 | Matt Hillett | I'm all in favour of the development because if the cricket pitch's days are numbered I'd rather have housing built there than an extension of the adjoining industrial belt. |
