The Plan states, "the density of housing development in the existing urban areas will be increased to ensure that the land is used efficiently". There is widespread support to ensure the better utilisation of existing development land especially were it allows an increase in density and infilling for new homes, however there are no details or examples contained within the Plan as to how this can be fully achieved.
Whilst such an approach is to be welcomed, to fully understand whether this approach has been adopted by the Plan more information is required, particularly to understand if these are reflected in the proposed numbers.
Strategic Priorities 3 and 4 contained within the Plan carry widespread public support: ­
"to provide a range and choice of accommodation, house types and tenures to meet the needs of current and future residents".
"to improve and diversify the Black Country housing offer".
