Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 21974

Received: 06/10/2021

Respondent: Pat Barden

Representation Summary:

In town centres, we must use the areas above retail units for residential accommodation, thus regenerating the areas by providing homes for young singles and even older people who could benefit from being close to amenities.

There are now empty units on every high street which could be converted by either the councils (giving them the opportunity to regenerate council housing stock or profit by selling on, not to mention employment in the regeneration).
