Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 2872
Received: 08/09/2017
Respondent: St Philips
Representation Summary:
St Philips does not support the 'export' of housing growth to neighbouring authorities within the HMA. It is important that the Black Country Authorities meet their own housing needs and all potential housing land supply options, including Green Belt sites, must be explored fully before any consideration is given to the 'export' of housing growth.
In addition to meeting its own needs, the Black Country has committed to explore the potential to accommodate 3,000 houses arising from Birmingham's unmet need. If the Black Country looked to 'export' housing growth, this would only serve to exacerbate existing issues within the HMA.
