Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

Representation ID: 80

Received: 23/08/2017

Respondent: First City Limited

Representation Summary:

I agree that is unrealistic to base the Review housing strategy on the development of employment sites as remaining sites of this type are required to maintain the employment base of the BC. It is now an appropriate tome to review the Green Belt within the Black Country and in locations in the adjoining Shire Districts that can accommodate sustainable urban extensions.
It is unclear how you have arrived at the figure of 3,000 for testing on the basis that there is presently no consensus or agreement to cooperate between the recipient authorities to deliver this.
