Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 10576

Received: 18/08/2021

Respondent: Mr Stephen James Pratt

Representation Summary:

Policy HOU1 proposes 47,837 homes, but this is far short of the identified need (76,076 homes), leaving a shortfall of 28,239 homes to be exported to neighbouring authorities. However, there is no indication as to how this shortfall will be met (see comments on Policy BCP1). It is therefore unsound and not legally compliant with the Duty to Cooperate.
