Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 3172
Received: 14/12/2017
Respondent: CJZ Design Limited
Agent: SLR Consulting
SLR agrees with the overall mantra of the Core Strategy vision and sustainability principals identified within Sections 4.3-4.5 of the Issues and Options document. Notwithstanding, as outlined above, SLR is of the view that there needs to be a comprehensive Green Belt Review both within the Black Country HMA and for adjoining local authority areas.
It is contended that any such Green Belt Review, Call for Sites and any subsequent SHLAA will identify potential housing sites that are more suitable, available and deliverable than those previously considered under the extant Core Strategy. These sites, whilst located within the Green Belt, may provide a more sustainable spatial and strategic solution to the housing needs of the HMA than at present.
