Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 2523
Received: 08/09/2017
Respondent: JVH Town Planning Consultants Ltd (rep Walton Homes Ltd)
Representation Summary:
We support Strategic Option 1A with a larger level of Green Belt Land release. This option raises less challenges to delivery overall. A flexible approach is however needed that also allows underused employment land that is no longer required to come forward to support the Strategy and bolster the overall supply. The levels of housing need are likely to increase further and therefore allocating and identifying more sites and safeguarding these for the future would be the most pragmatic approach.
