Representation Summary:
Policy DS4, proposing a longer term 'New Settlement' is considered unsound as it is not justified at the present time. It is currently only at an 'options' stage as set out in the first paragraph of the draft policy. It is considered there are locations around existing settlements that could accommodate such growth e.g Wombourne. The Plan, as drafted, purports the idea of a potential New Settlement in the longer term, but there is no specific location for the settlement, it has not formed part of the evidence base and Sustainability Appraisal and has not been fully justified for the purpose of the Preferred Options. The Policy should therefore be deleted.
