Respondent: St Philips

Both Strategic Option 1A and Strategic Option 1B recognise the need for housing in the Green Belt which St Philips supports.
There are opportunities and challenges presented by both Strategic Options, but Strategic Option 1A appears to be more suitable for accommodating the growth needs of the Black Country over the BCCS Review plan period There are various opportunities provided by Strategic Option 1A, especially the provision of a sustainable pattern of development, close to the urban edge of existing settlements where need arises in the Black Country. Importantly Strategic Option 1A would significantly boost the supply of housing land and help to meet full, objectively assessed need identified in the SHMA.
