I have taken a look at the Draft Black Country Plan Consultation site. It is not particularly easy to navigate and find things, but some of the detail on the developments is quite useful. However, I encountered a couple of problems.

Access errors
Despite being logged in as a registered user, I was only able to view document Policy HOU1 out of the three listed for the Charlemont Community Centre site, the other two returned an “access denied” error. (HOU! was the Land Supply and Indicative Phasing document, which includes useful data, but I have question on that as well, see separate email.)

Search errors (no list of search results)
Some of my address searches briefly flashed up a number of results, but did not list the addresses. Most were OK, but Painswick Close stubbornly refused to show the 8 results is claimed to have found.

In terms of lodging objects or comments, this looks relatively easy but for the three main sites I am interested in (Tanhouse Avenue playing fields, Painswick Close, and Charlemont Community Centre) it looks as though they have to done as part of the Sandwell Valley section, where all the sites are listed. Is it not possible to comment on individuals sites?

From the key provided with the map, I assume the yellow site near the Charlemont Community Centre is part of a Core Regeneration Area. The site is on the corner of Beaconview Road and Wyndmill Crescent and looks to be a derelict site. Are there any outstanding plans, with planning permission, for this site?
