I recognise that Government planning changes are under review.

How might any changes impact on the procedures required to move this plan forward?

To what extent is the plan linked to the Boundary Review proposal to remove Dudley South as a constituency and incorporate Kingswinford with South Staffordshire?

When was it agreed that Kingswinford should become a strategic development area? I would like to see the minutes of the meeting, a list of people present and a summary of the discussion. as there local consultation about this?

I recognise that Government planning changes are under review/

How can the Councils demonstrate that is it giving equal consideration to the requirements of developers and the challenges from objectors?

Has there been a broad-brush analysis of the impact of this level of development on the wide range of services the Council provides?

How does this plan mesh with the reinvigoration of High Streets in, for example, Dudley and Brierley Hill?

To what extent has there been a search relating to protection of certain sites through former donations of land for public use?

To what extend has there been a search relating to sites which may be on former mining land and therefore unsafe? Why have the latter been included in the plan, causing potentially unnecessary stress for residents?
