• Policy CSP 1 Development strategy
Para 2 e: Protecting the openness, integrity and function of the Black Country's designated and
retained Green Belt by resisting inappropriate development.
Para 3:13 and 3:16: The Black Country Authorities (The four local authorities of Dudley Council,
Sandwell Council, Walsall Council and City of Wolverhampton Council) attach great importance to
the ongoing protection of the Black Country Green Belt; however, the green belt boundary is drawn
tightly around the urban edges. In order to help meet objectively assessed needs for housing and
employment land development, exceptional circumstances to alter green belt boundaries need to be
demonstrated.
