Our clients agree with the conclusions reached in paragraph 3.40 that the need to accommodate unmet housing needs can contribute towards establishing a case for exceptional circumstances to precipitate a Green Belt Review. We also consider that it will be crucial to ensure that the Green Belt Review is carried out holistically, that is to say incorporating the findings of the forthcoming South Staffordshire Green Belt Review and other surrounding Districts outside the Black Country. South Staffordshire has a large interface with the northern and western areas of the Black Country and as such will be an important area to take into account for any provision of housing that the Black Country cannot itself accommodate.
