10.1 The strategy for Walsall is set out at paragraph C.8 in Chapter 13 of the draft Black Country Plan, which is as follows:

‘In the future, Walsall will be a more confident place, with renewed investment in key infrastructure and key centres, greater opportunities for work and leisure and an affordable, accessible housing stock.’

10.2 We are supportive of this strategy

10.5 We strongly support the proposed Neighbourhood Growth Areas and consider that land at Yieldfields can contribute to the aims for these areas. In Walsall, the Site extends to 38.9 hectares and has the potential to deliver up to 978 new homes alongside the provision of a 2 form entry primary school, a Community Hub, local health centre, significant open space and informal sports provision in a sustainable location. The Site will also seek to deliver a minimum 10% in biodiversity net gain, alongside other on-site habitat provision and enhancement.
