Policy DEL2
CPRE supports this policy as it sets out how development on brownfield sites will be judged. However, the policy should be more positive in its approach to brownfield development.
The use of brownfield registers and other tools should be encouraged so that there is a positive encouragement of the use of redundant brown field sites.
As set out in our objection to CSP1, we consider there is considerable scope for further brownfield land to come forward and there is likely to be on-going change and regeneration both in the Black Country centres and in areas of renewal. The Plan needs to support this on-going change, not only to protect the countryside from incursion but to allow for renewal and to ensure the Black Country remains an attractive area to invest in
