CEN1 - The Black Country Centres
Taylor Wimpey supports the identification Of Stourbridge as a Tier 2 Centre in Table 7 Of the
Draft BDP given the district centre function it plays in sewing the needs of development in the
area. We consider that the allocation of land at Clent View Road would support this role by
helping to ensure its future vitality and viability, and to meet needs in the most accessible and
sustainable way by providing new development with access to the centre via sustainable
transport options.
We also note that Streetly is identified as a I,ocal Centre in the emerging BCP. Therefore, the
provision of housing to maintain its role in the settlement hierarchy of Walsall and the wider
Black Country is important. The development of the Chester Road site would support Streetly
as a Local Centre by contributing to local convenience and comparison retail, services,
community facilities and other amenities.
