Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

Representation ID: 519

Received: 08/09/2017

Respondent: Dr Baljit Bhandal

Agent: Harris Lamb

Representation Summary:

The EDNA identifies a need for strategic/premium and local quality employment sites, with the majority of the need relating to the former. The EDNA also identifies that the bulk of inquiries relates to logistics and manufacturing. Combined these clearly lead to a conclusion that a large proportion of the new employment land will need to be directed toward the strategic network corridor (i.e. M5, M6 and M54). Good access to motorways will therefore be key in this regard.
