Our clients support Spatial Option H2. In terms of characteristics of SUEs, we would consider that these would be upwards of say 400+ homes to allow them to viably deliver the infrastructure required for large new housing sites. SUEs, by their nature, should be developed to make best use of existing infrastructure such as railway stations, bus routes, local shops/services and schools.

Our client's land at Jones Lane, Great Wyrley would provide the ideal opportunity to create a SUE within walking distance of an existing rail station (Landywood) with a frequent service to the Black Country Strategic Centre of Walsall. Such pre-existing public transport links, together with the associated road network, allow for ease of access for new residents to commute to employment opportunities in the Black Country and other commercial centres nearby. Furthermore, Great Wyrley village provides a range of local amenities including several Primary Schools, a Secondary School, shops, Co-op food store and Doctor's Surgery.
