Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

Representation ID: 357

Received: 07/09/2017

Respondent: Clowes Developments

Agent: Harris Lamb

Representation Summary:

We consider that Option 1A is to be preferred to Strategic Option 1B. That said, we believe there continues to be an overreliance upon Brownfield / windfall sites in the existing supply and there is also an over reliance on Brownfield windfalls in the estimated further housing supply.

We consider, therefore, that overall the Greenfield requirement should provide some 40,000 units of the overall requirement which itself should be increased to 81,290 units.
