Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 3217

The release of poor quality employment land should be a continuous process. However, SLR would not support the release of further employment land at this point in time given the current demand within the Black Country. As outlined above, SLR considers that the release of Green Belt sites would be the most appropriate and sustainable strategy for the Black Country and the wider HMA to meet the necessary housing needs provision.
Releasing too much employment land will only necessitate the release of Green Belt land for employment rather than housing as this is a finite resource.
