Draft Black Country Plan
Representation ID: 10577
Received: 18/08/2021
Respondent: Mr Stephen James Pratt
Representation Summary:
Policy EMP1 makes provision for 355ha of employment land to meet an identified need of 565ha, leaving a shortfall of 210ha to be exported to neighbouring authorities through the Duty to Cooperate. However, there is no indication of how this shortfall will be met, either by Statement(s of Common Ground/Memoranda of Understanding with the relevant neighbouring authorities. As such, the policy is unsound and not legally compliant with the Duty to Cooperate.
