Given the current housing shortfall, the identified OAN for the Black Country up to 2036 and the need to accommodate development outside of the urban area, SLR would support the review of the Core Strategy
Policy.

There will need to be consideration given to the reparation of the additional evidence base documents that would support such policy, including a comprehensive Green Belt Review to ensure the allocation or safeguarding of sufficient housing sites for this plan period and beyond.

As such, a new policy section will be required to address this strategy and the findings of the evidence base documents that support the Core Strategy Review. It is also considered that this is likely to include the allocation of specific sites rather than broad areas for development.
