. Policy HOUl - Delivering Sustainable Housing Growth


3.1 Proposed Policy HOU 1 identifies housing allocations in Black Country Areas. Land at Bott Lane is identified for the delivery of 168 dwellings within allocation DUH003 and the BCP states it is likely to come forward as part of the Lye regeneration project; however, the site should be considered for other uses for the reasons discussed below and in the remainder of these representations.

3.2 Policy HOUl at paragraph 6.6 also acknowledges the fact that the allocations of occupied employment sites can have "multiple delivery constraints that typically affect such sites and that are likely to reduce delivery on a minority of sites", including poor ground conditions. Policy HOUl cannot be considered sound in regard to this site allocation.

3.3 In summary, the allocation of sites such as DUH003 for housing development is not effective. The viability of delivering housing on occupied employment sites is uncertain and the BCP acknowledges that there are constraints relating to this.
