2.0 Policy CSP1 - Development Strategy and CPS3 Town and Neighbourhood Areas and the Green Belt
2.1 WDL broadly support the development strategy set out by Policy CSP1 insofar as it increases the scope for sustainability located sites to come forward for development, to meet future growth needs across the Black Country Area.
2.2 The number of new homes to be delivered by the Spatial Strategy in the Local Plan (47,847) is expressed as ‘at least’ which is welcomed as the number of new homes required to meet the housing need is higher than this figure. We address this point in more detail under Policy HOU1 and this point is addressed in full by WDL, in their representation on Housing Need and Supply , a copy of this report by Turley’s is attached as Appendix 1 for reference.
2.3 WDL agree with the approach for sustainable patterns of development and welcomes the identification of Neighbourhood Growth areas including site WAS6. These are sites which are located in highly sustainable locations on the edge of the Urban Area. Site WSA6 fulfils this brief as it is immediately adjacent to the built-up area of Daisy Banks, a neighbourhood of Walsall and will function as an extension to this area with access to all the services facilities of Walsall Strategic Centre.
