1.4 Investin seeks to work constructively with the Black Country Authorities (‘BCA’) as it progresses towards the submission and adoption of the BCP and trusts that the comments contained within this document will assist Officers in this regard.
1.5 It is noted that the publication of the replacement (20th July 2021) National Planning Policy Framework (‘NPPF’) post-dates the publication of the BCP (approved at BCA cabinets on 5th and 7th July 2021) and therefore its revised contents will not have been accounted for in the consultation document. The representations draw on the revised provisions where relevant in responding to the questions posed, though it is noted that the BCA recognises the need for future stages of the BCP to take into account the revised NPPF.
