Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

Representation ID: 387

Received: 07/09/2017

Respondent: Clowes Developments

Agent: Harris Lamb

Representation Summary:

The Black Country has a different history and heritage as do the settlements which are geographically and functionally close to the Black Country. We do not consider that the vernacular of the existing urban area and adjoining settlements is appropriate for Garden City principles.
