We believe that Hagley will provide an appropriate location for sites to be released which meet the needs of the Black Country. Hagley is very well related to the Black Country, lying just to the south of the edge of Stourbridge. It is a sustainable settlement, being the second most sustainable settlement in Bromsgrove District with both primary and secondary schools, a railway station, local facilities and can access the Black Country through the primary road network.

We have identified two opportunities for sites to be released at Hagley through the "Call for Sites" process on behalf of Hagley Hall Estate.

The site addresses are as follows:

1. Western Road / Stourbridge Road
2. Stoney Lane / Stakenbridge Lane / Kidderminster Road

The Call for Sites response provides more information regarding the suitability of these two sites for development.

We can confirm that, subject to the release of the sites from the Green Belt through the Bromsgrove District Plan, both sites can be made available in the early part of the plan period and will provide high quality, sustainable developments which will fulfil the housing requirements of residents of the Black Country.
