Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

Representation ID: 2881

Received: 08/09/2017

Respondent: St Philips

Representation Summary:

The SHMA may be appropriate for setting general house type targets for the plan period; however, a flexible approach should be adopted by the Black Country Authorities to allow for changing local circumstances. The Issues and Options consultation document refers to the need for sheltered and extra care houses, and there should also be a flexible approach to these tenures so as not to preclude the viability and deliverability of sites (particularly Green belt release locations).
