Application Reference: 26/00016/OUT

CPRE Staffordshire objects to the outline planning application (Ref: 26/00016/OUT) for the erection of up to four dwellings on land to the rear of Boythorpe and Wyndfield, Walsall Road, Pipehill, Lichfield, Staffordshire (WS13 8JT). The site lies within the designated Green Belt, well outside the defined settlement boundary, and is not allocated for development in the adopted Local Plan. The proposal would result in the unnecessary loss of Grade 2 agricultural land and open countryside, erode the rural character and openness of the area, and contribute to unsustainable urban sprawl, in direct conflict with both local and national planning policy.
