There is no justification for building houses at the back of houses as you are suggesting for Wood Lane (wAH255)
There are not enough schools all of which are full, the traffic is congested and the parking an issue. All local schools work at capacity. Bottom line I do not want houses built at the back thus overlooking my property

Paragraph 6.16 gives us cause for concern. Good access to schools is an important need for all children. This statement implies an outflow of young families from the centres. We do not believe that this contributes towards creating sustainable communities, neither is it viable in the longer term.

A table following paragraph 6.20 sets out a matrix of dwelling sizes by tenure, stating that ‘The Black Country Housing Market Assessment (HMA) 2021 demonstrates that new households generated by 2039 will need the following mix of home tenures and types’. It continues that it is important for housing provision to reflect the varying needs for each of the four local authorities, as set out in the HMA. The supporting text to policy HOU2 should be explicit that the table which follows paragraph 6.20 is not setting an expected mix of home tenures and types for all development sites and all authority areas, rather it is presenting the assessed overall requirement for the Black Country Plan area. Policy HOU2 should be consistent with policy HOU3 and explicit that the dwelling mix and any mix of tenures will be site specific and subject to a consideration of local needs at the time of a proposed development coming forward.
