Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 22077

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Kinver Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Duty to Cooperate
We note the plan indicates a shortfall of circa 28000 new homes and feel:

• There is a presumption that these can be accommodated in adjacent authorities.
• This appears to be an over reliance on the duty to cooperate (which may not remain a statutory obligation in the future).
• Has the impact of increasing the pressure to release neighbouring protected Green Belt sites.
