Respondent: Historic England

We recognise that Table 3 on page 90 sets out a significant housing requirement for the Black Country and seeks to find land to accommodate over 47,000 new homes in the plan period. Historic England is concerned about the location of this proposed development and is keen to ensure that the Plan has a positive strategy for the historic environment, seeks to protect and where possible, enhance the significance of heritage assets including their setting and has suitable and up to date evidence to justify the inclusion of proposed allocations and any potential harm/ avoidance and mitigation measures.

See comments elsewhere on proposed allocations and within the body of the letter attached to this response.
