Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

Representation ID: 2862

Received: 08/09/2017

Respondent: St Philips

Representation Summary:

St Philips has already commented on the approach to the Green Belt Review in our response to question 2. As previously stated, the Green Belt Review should be undertaken in line with the NPPF and have regard to paragraphs 83 to 85, particularly the need to promote sustainable patterns of development when drawing up or reviewing Green Belt boundaries. Paragraph 80 of the NPPF sets out that a Green Belt Review will assess the extent to which land designated as Green Belt performs against the purposes of Green Belt. The identified land in Aldridge is considered to have limited Green Belt purpose and St Philips expects the Green Belt Review will come to the same conclusions when it is undertaken.
