Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

Representation ID: 2816

Received: 13/09/2017

Respondent: ROSCONN STRATEGIC LAND

Representation Summary:

Disagree. For similar reasons to those set out within our response to Question 1, the spatial objectives of the current BCCS require a comprehensive review as they are inconsistent with both national planning policy and the key challenges facing the area. For instance, very little if no mention is made within the objectives to meeting the housing needs of the area and wider HMA, a fundamental issue given significant importance within the NPPF. The need to release Green Belt land within the area due to capacity issues is also a significant issue that is absent within the existing BCCS objectives.
