Some allocations (especially those in GB) are more sensitive than the land north of Codsall/Bilbrook - specifically site 222 (Sandy Lane, Codsall).
Allocation 419 (Keepers Lane/Wergs Hall Road) is a prominent site without clear and logical boundary to extend to.
Site 224 (Station Road, Codsall) has been selected on ability to provide railway car park, but this is not a purpose to override GB policy and unlikely to demonstrate exceptional circumstances test.
Site 228 (Histons Hill, Codsall) is an undeveloped 2018 SAD site and might be better allocated for employment use.
Allocation of Site 222 (Sandy Lane, Codsall) would complement development at adjacent Taylor Wimpey site and would be consistent with conclusions with GL Hearn to development Location PD2 to the north of Codsall.
Stage 1 of 2019 GB report is flawed due to the extent of assessed land parcels (S41) whilst Stage 2 is flawed by aggregating all land to the east, north and west of Codsall Conservation Area so potential impact of future development is all areas has been judged together. This has exaggerated harm by combining with more sensitive sites. A more fine-grained assessment is required.
As Watery Lane site has been developed. the context of the Sensitivity Assessment as altered, and Sandy Lane is now effectively surrounded by development on three sides.
Site 222 (Sandy Lane, Codsall) has clear potential for development due to easy access to local facilities/services.
