Yes. Gallagher Estates support Spatial Option H2, a more focussed approach, which seeks to release land from the Green Belt to allocate a limited number of SUEs across the Black Country (including cross boundary options) in the most sustainable locations which are already or have the potential to be well served by infrastructure.
The need for housing is emphasised by the NPPF and Paragraph 17 encourages and supports sustainable economic development to deliver the homes that the country needs. A key objective of the NPPF is to deliver a wide choice of high quality homes. Paragraph 47 states that to boost
significantly the supply of housing, local planning authorities should identify key sites that are critical to the delivery of the housing strategy over the plan period.
