Edwin Richards Quarry, Rowley Regis, Sandwell
BCP Policy HOU1; Table 22 - Sandwell Residential Site Allocations
FCC Environment supports the allocation of the whole of the Edwin Richards Quarry (ERQ) site for residential development under Policy HOU1. However, it is considered that the Indicative Development Capacity of 281 dwellings significantly underestimates the contribution that the ERQ site can make to meeting housing needs in the Black Country, and Sandwell in particular, over the plan period. This is because the figure of 281 dwellings is based solely on the existing outline consent (DC14/47745) and takes no account of the likely contribution from the remainder of the site during the plan period.
