Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 2877
Received: 08/09/2017
Respondent: St Philips
Representation Summary:
The Issues and Options consultation document states that 25% of the existing Black Country housing land supply is not viable under current market conditions and that consequently, it is not certain that there is enough funding available to bring forward sites to meet the short to medium term housing growth needs. St Philips believes that the finding mechanisms listed in the Issues and Options consultation document are generally appropriate, but is conscious of the risk that these funding sources will fail to deliver. Deliverable Green Belt sites should thus be allocated through the BCCS Review, such as the identified land at Aldridge.
