EMP1 and WAE333 – Employment Allocation
2.23. Walsall Borough has a significantly higher employment land allocation than the other BC
authorities, but it is not clear why this should be the case: [Policy pictured from BCP document]
2.24. We consider that there remains greater scope for Walsall Borough to lose some ‘old’ or
longstanding employment allocations which have not yet come forward in favour of more
housing – because the pressure on neighbouring the neighbouring Staffordshire authorities
should not just translate into them blindly accommodating unmet need from the BC if there are
sites which still have not been delivered for employment uses.
