Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 285
Received: 07/09/2017
Respondent: D2 Planning Limited
LCP agree that an update retail capacity assessment should be undertaken to ensure that current and future trends are taken into account in the formulation of future policy. As stated in response to Question 60, the retailing sector has changed significantly in the past 10-15 years and planning policy has not taken account of such change. It is imperative that the Core Strategy is underpinned by an up to date evidence base.
