Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

Representation ID: 574

Received: 08/09/2017

Respondent: SBP Property Ventures Ltd

Agent: Harris Lamb

Representation Summary:

The Black Country has a different history and heritage as do the settlements that are geographically and functionally close to the Black Country. We do not consider the vernacular of the existing urban area and adjoining settlements appropriate for Garden City principles.
