Representation Summary:

I wish to make you aware of a number of strong objections I have with regards to the above Black Country Plan WAL242 and the proposed development of Green Belt land.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING BCCS states that the proposed development supports the council's objective with regard to affordable housing. The proposed housing has to take into account the surrounding characteristics of each site so I would ask what the definition of affordable housing is. House prices in the area are typically anywhere between 450,000 and 800,000. I'm not sure this, on average, would be considered affordable housing.
