The site is contaminated as a result of the former industrial use. A phase 2 contamination report has been undertaken and the costs of decontaminating the site established.
NA – the site is clear of development
The site is on two different levels that are separated by a steep slope. The lower level adjoins the southern side of the canal. This part of the site cannot readily be accessed by car and so it will be turned into an area of public open space

The level of contamination and removal of the concrete slab that covers the site have significant cost implications. A viability appraisal has been undertaken and a reduction in the affordable housing requirement is likely to be necessary to make the development viable.
The site is in a suitable and sustainable location for development. It already benefits from a residential allocation and the landowner remains committed to bringing the site forward for housing.

Land to the north of Lapal Lane South, Halesowen
The total capacity of the site is envisaged to be 400 dwellings or 11 hectares of employment land
The site is referred to as part of a Landscape Heritage Area, which is a non-statutory designation and, therefore, a non-designated heritage asset. These designations cover the majority of the greenfield areas within Dudley MBC. It is our view that the weight to be given to these blanket designations is limited and that this designation needs to be treated with caution given the volume of land the designation relates to.
No answer given
NA – the site is clear of development
There are no specific infrastructure requirements to serve the development other than those normally expected of a development of this scale such as on-site public open space, new access roads, etc. The site is, however, capable of providing new infrastructure to serve residents of the development and the benefit and the wider areas as a whole if this is required.
N/A
N/A
The site is being promoted by the landowner and they are committed to following the promotion of this site through to an allocation. Given the current Green Belt status and the early stage in the production of the plan, it is far too early to put the site on the market. For the sake of clarity, that is not to say the market would not be interested in the site and we are confident that on securing an allocation this site would attract interest from a large number of house builders.

At the present time no viability constraints are expected
The site is in a suitable and sustainable location for development. It is capable of providing a relatively significant amount of development to meet the growth requirements of the Black Country authorities (and Birmingham). In addition to the good links to the strategic network, the site benefits from direct access onto Carters Lane, which provides direct access into Halesowen to the north, Birmingham to the east and a range of services and facilities. The site can start to deliver development promptly assisting in meeting the significant Black Country housing shortfall in the short term
The site is suitable for the development of in the region of 80 houses.
A planning application is being prepared for the site. This will include a ground investigation report and other technical reports as agreed with DMBC officers.
N/A
There is a previous planning permission for residential development (reference P05/1698).

Goscote House is a locally listed building
No answer given
The existing health and social care buildings are expected to remain on site, and continue to be operational. However, the site includes a number of areas with development potential. In particular, the southern and western land parcels of the subject site including Goscote House are likely to be considered surplus to the operational healthcare requirements of the NHS. Confirmation is expected within the next 12 months. These site parcels should be therefore be considered suitable for alternative uses including a range of residential accommodation, depending on the needs of the local community.
Not known at this stage - dependent on final capacity of redevelopment and local needs. Given the site size, it is not considered that redevelopment of the site would require the provision of substantial infrastructure.

The site is approximately 0.3km from the s St Paul’s C of E First school and nursery, which is located on School Lane, and 0.6km from the village centre which includes local convenience stores, a post office and a public house. The site is within close proximity of industrial and employment sites including Four Ashes Industrial Estate, Wolverhampton Business Park, Hilton Main Industrial Estate and i54 Enterprise Zone. Bounded by the A449, Stafford is approximately 10.6 miles away and Wolverhampton 5.8 miles away. The A449 also provides access to the junction 2 of the M54, which is two miles from the site, and the A5 is within 2.3 miles of the site which provides access to the M6. The A449 provides a strong, defensible and definitive boundary for any revised Green Belt Boundary at this location. We are not aware of any constraints to the site which would prevent development such as restrictive covenants, public rights of way, flood risk, physical constraints including topography or trees or contamination affecting the site. The site is therefore available immediately.

Rectangular in site this is a brownfield underutilised site located in the Green Belt. There are two substantial double height storey sheds; a large bungalow; and the remainder of the site is covered in hardstanding. The site is bounded to the north by the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal; to the east by a mature hedge and the Wolverhampton Casuals Football Club; to the south by Brinsford Lane; and the west by the A449. The site is approximately 0.6miles from Junction 2 of the M54 and is located within the triangle to the three Strategic Employment Sites in South Staffordshire namely i54; Hilton Cross; and the Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF) at Featherstone. The site is approximately 1.3 miles away from the shops on Brewood Road in Coven, and 2 miles from the shops on The Avenue in Featherstone. The site is presently used as a storage facility for HGVs, but the operator is retiring. As part of the evidence gathering exercise for the South Staffordshire Site Allocations Document, (SAD), the Employment Land Study identifies that there is an oversupply of 12.3 ha of employment land to meet South Staffordshire’s local employment need. However, in light of the findings of the Black Country and South Staffordshire Sub Regional High Quality Employment Land Study 2014/15, and whilst it is not for South Staffordshire to meet the Black County employment land shortfall, the Council has sought to allocate modest extensions to the designated Strategic Employment Sites in the SAD to help to meet these wider regional needs. The loss of this existing use (Class B8) is therefore not considered an obstacle is respect of considering alternative uses for this brownfield site.

No. The site has no real abnormal development costs which would require external funding.
We attach for your information a site location plan. The site is located on the Penn Road in Upper Penn. The site is highly sustainable being on a main bus route into Wolverhampton and being within walking distance of a comprehensive range of facilities including pubs, nursery, shops, doctor’s surgery and dentists. The site is well hidden from most views with a strong belt of trees surrounding the site to the north, west and south. The site in not in a Conservation Area nor within any designated ecology or habitat area. However, the site is adjacent to Penn Hall School which is a Grade II Listed Building. However, there is a substantial tree buffer between the subject site and the listed building which sits within its own grounds. This in addition to the sites topography would result in minimal effect on the setting on the Listed Building given its current use and the amount of new buildings that have been constructed within the grounds of Penn Hall. The site is within the greenbelt however, we would argue that there is no real purpose for the inclusion of this site within the greenbelt as it is unclear what the reasons are for protecting the land from development. The land in fact, lends itself more to the suburban nature of Upper Penn and with development on all sides of the site including the cemetery to the west. The release of this site from the greenbelt would result in minimal harm to the surrounding area and would not contribute towards the coalescence or joining of any surrounding villages. In addition, Vicarage Road acts as the natural boundary between the suburban built form of Penn and the countryside to the south, and its release for development would have limited visual and landscape impact. The site is immediately deliverable for housing and there are no technical issues which would adversely affect the viability of the site.

The total capacity of the site is envisaged to be in the region of 840 dwellings. However, it should be noted that the land to the north and east of Limepit Lane are capable of coming forward for development independently. Both parcels of land are approximately the same size and can deliver c420 units each.
There is an area of woodland on the site. It is, however, proposed that this should be excluded from any residential allocation.
NA – the site is clear of development.
There are no specific infrastructure requirements to serve the development other than those normally expected of a development of this scale such as on-site public open space, new access roads, etc. The site is, however, capable of providing new infrastructure to serve residents of the development and the benefit and the wider areas as a whole if this is required. IM Land would welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter further with officers of South Staffordshire and Black Country authorities.
Time expired South Staffordshire planning permission 95/00455. Planning permission was granted for residential development on part of the application site. Please see attached representation to South Staffordshire Council Site Allocation’s Local Plan.
The site is controlled by an experienced land promoter and has been acquired in the knowledge of strong market interest in delivering residential development in this location. IM Land are of the view that if the site is allocated for development the delivery of residential development on site will be prompt and sales rate will be strong.

The site is currently used for agriculture and generally comprises agricultural fields associated with College Farm, which lies at its centre. The farm currently consists of a mix of agricultural, equine and commercial buildings and associated areas of hardstanding.
Approximately 570 new homes, at an average density of 35 dwellings per hectare, appropriate to current requirements of Walsall Council and suited to the local area with a mix of housing types, tenure, and sizes.
The proposals have the support of the landowner and thus the agricultural use of the site would cease if the site were redeveloped for housing. The existing PRoW through the site would be retained within a green corridor which would ensure that views to the open land to the south will be retained. Park Lime Pits LNR and SINC are situated adjacent to the site to the west, with a small part of the SINC extending into the site. Daw End Branch Canal SLINC is also situated adjacent to the site. There is potential to retain this area as part of a new wildlife corridor within the western part of a new residential development, which could have controlled public access. A railway line bounds the site to the north west, and despite the railway being in a cutting, there is the potential for noise impact on the site. However this constraint could be overcome if the development included an appropriate landscape buffer area between the railway line and the site, and orientated new residential properties to minimise any noise impacts upon future residents. Please refer to the Development Statement submitted with Taylor Wimpey UK Limited’s representations to the Black Country Core Strategy Review Issues and Options consultation (GVA, September 2017) for full details of the constraints and opportunities on the site.
The proposals have the support of the landowner and thus the agricultural use of the site would cease if the site were redeveloped for housing.
It is anticipated that complementary uses for the residential development would be required in the form of an educational facility, a local centre with shops, open space and footpaths and cycleways. These features have been designed in to the Illustrative Masterplan which has been submitted for the site. The need for a primary school or secondary school would need to be discussed and agreed with the Education Authority and informed by robust evidence. The other complementary uses on the site would also need to be informed by up-to-date evidence of local need.
A detailed planning history search has not been undertaken but it appears that historic planning permissions are only those which relate to the extant agricultural use of the site at College Farm.
Taylor Wimpey UK Limited control’s the site by way of an option agreement with the three different landowners.

No - The site is achievable and could be bought forward for development within the first five years of the new Core Strategy plan period, given there are no known legal or technical impediments that would preclude the development of the site.
The full details of the site and the opportunity provided by it are presented within the Development Statement (which contains an Illustrative Masterplan) that has been submitted alongside Taylor Wimpey UK Limited’s representations to the Black Country Core Strategy Review Issues and Options consultation (GVA, September 2017).

We understand that the site benefitted from planning permission for the erection of 5 no. 2 bedroom dwellings granted in 1997 (Application Reference Number: BCW640). We are also aware that a further application was granted permission in 1993 for the renewal of permission for domestic garages. The site is currently unused brownfield land.
We consider the site could accommodate approximately 5 dwellings.
No, this site is not agricultural land.
There is no current use that requires relocating.
We do not consider any of the above would be required to support the development of the site. The site is highly sustainable. On site as part of the development, an access road will be required. We envisage a single access that will lead to all the properties.
