Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 2879
Received: 08/09/2017
Respondent: St Philips
St Philips has not undertaken a detailed assessment of any evidence on which the housing land supply within the BCCS Review is based. The Issues and Options consultation document outlines various sources of potential housing land supply and notes that if these sources prove to be of strategic significance, they will form a part of the housing land supply within the new Core Strategy. The potential sources of supply referred to in the Issues and Options consultation report are not disputed by St Philips; however, such sources of supply should not be relied upon in the future given some of these have failed to deliver in the past. Green Belt land is definitely required as a source of future housing land supply.
