Yes. Gallagher Estates broadly support the application of Garden City principles in the Black Country and support their inclusion with the Black Country Core Strategy. Paragraph 52 of the NPPF identifies that the supply of new homes can sometimes be best achieved through planning
for large scale development, such as new settlements or extensions to existing villages and towns that follow the principles of Garden Cities.
The Town and Country Planning Association (TPCA) identifies that a Garden City is a holistically planned new settlement which enhances the natural environment and offers high-quality affordable housing and locally accessible work in beautiful, healthy and sociable communities.
