Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 2544
Received: 04/09/2017
Respondent: Hawksmoor
Representation Summary:
We do not support the proposed approach to housing land supply, particularly the reference to increased potential to increase high density housing allocations within Strategic Centres.
The viability of such high density schemes on brownfield sites can be extremely challenging, particularly in areas of the Black Country with underlying low sales values that do not support the development of high density schemes. A mixed approach to housing land supply should be taken that acknowledges the significant contribution that can be made from Green Belt sites around the edge of the Black Country and in adjoining Districts.
