NO – the proposed Spatial Strategy within the Preferred Options consultation does not reflect that which was identified within Option G of the previous Spatial Housing Strategy & Infrastructure Delivery consultation. Option
G previously identified that 8.5% of the housing need (c. 750 units) should be provided along the western edge
of the Black Country urban areas (Wolverhampton and Dudley).
Whilst there is a reduced unmet need from the adjoining Dudley area, this reduction is not reflective of the
unmet housing needs associated with, and allocations needed to support, the Wolverhampton authority area.
Further sites should either be allocated or safeguarded along the western edge of the Wolverhampton urban
area to ensure housing needs are met now and beyond the current plan period.
