Our clients fully support the export of housing growth to neighbouring authorities.
In terms of factors that should be taken into account when assessing potential opportunities, links to the Black Country Strategic Centres (such as Walsall) should be taken into account. This would include proximity to rail stations, together with other forms of public transport such as buses and also main road links. Such links would benefit new residents seeking to commute into the Black Country for employment opportunities, thereby supporting and strengthening existing commercial centres.
Furthermore, existing infrastructure in potential locations in neighbouring authorities should be a key consideration. This will include schools, shopping facilities and health services.
