Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

It is considered that the need 'to accommodate unmet housing needs', especially given the backlog experienced between 2011-2014 and the likely findings of the Greater Birmingham and Black Country HMA Strategic Growth Study, such a Green Belt Review is now entirely appropriate within both the Black Country and the wider HMA.
SLR duly requests that the Black Country Core Strategy Review consider our Client's site for suitability for release from the Green Belt and either allocation in the short term or a longer term safeguarding. Given that the site can form a strategic allocation, it has the ability to provide a significant quantum of development which could go toward meeting the housing need for the HMA.
