potential (Black Country)/Estimated delivery potential (South Staffordshire)/Comments [appear below these]

WAH232 Yieldsfield Farm
(sometimes recorded as
Yieldfields farm), Stafford
Road, Bloxwich

978 (600 dwellings
by 2039)

978 by 2037 This is based on the plan being adopted in 2024 and the following assumptions set out in
paragraphs 4.55 – 4.69 of the Black Country Plan Viability and Delivery Study (May 2021):
- Build commencement 2028 (4 years max. lead-in time)
- 100 dpa build rate



WAH234 Land between Queslett
Road, Doe Bank Lane and
Aldridge Road, Pheasey

1426 (960 dwellings
by 2039)

1426 dwellings by
2039

This is based on the plan being adopted in 2024 and the following assumptions set out in
paragraphs 4.55 – 4.69 of the Black Country Plan Viability and Delivery Study (May 2021):
- Build commencement 2028 (4 years max. lead-in time)
- 100 – 200 dpa build rate on sites significantly above 500 dwellings (implying a maximum potential
capacity of between 1,200 – 2,400 dwellings up to 2039)



Based on the above assumptions, the site only needs to achieve a 118 dpa build rate to be delivered
fully in the plan period. Given the site’s size and the recommended range of 100 – 200 dpa given in
the May 2021 report for such sites, it seems realistic to assume the site will be completed within the
plan period.



WAH235 Home Farm, Sandhills,
Walsall Wood

1417 (800 dwellings
by 2039)

1417 dwellings by
2039

This is based on the plan being adopted in 2024 and the following assumptions set out in
paragraphs 4.55 – 4.69 of the Black Country Plan Viability and Delivery Study (May 2021):
- Build commencement 2028 (4 years max. lead-in time)
- 100 – 200 dpa build rate on sites significantly above 500 dwellings (implying a maximum potential
capacity of between 1,200 – 2,400 dwellings up to 2039 on large sites in the Black Country)



Based on the above assumptions, the site only needs to achieve a 118 dpa build rate to be delivered
fully in the plan period. Given the site’s size and the recommended range of 100 – 200 dpa given in
the May 2021 report for such sites, it seems realistic to assume the site will be completed within the
plan period.
