Policy CSP3 - Towns and Neighbourhood
Areas and the Green Belt

3.1Taylor Wimpey strongly supports the Neighbourhood Growth Area that includes Strategic Allocation WSA.2 and will contribute to meeting the housing needs of the BCP.

3.2 However, for the reasons set out in these representations it is considered that additional housing land in sustainable locations on the edge of the urban area needs to be identified to meet housing need and this will require the release of additional Green Belt land. For the reasons set out in the previous sections of the report, the provision of 27,068 new homes is not justified as it fails to meet the minimum number of homes required. The figure should be significantly more.

3.3 In order to meet this need and support the delivery of sustainable development Taylor Wimpey considers that Land at Chester Road, Streetly and Land at Clent View Road Stourbridge should be released from the Green Belt and allocated for residential development. We provide further detail and the deliverability, sustainability and masterplan aspirations for these sites in these
representations.
