Vision is inappropriate - the economic objective of sustainable development requires a sufficient quantum of the right type of land to be available to support economic growth. The social objective requires local authorities to ensure that a sufficient number and range of homes are provided to meet the needs of current and future generations. Propose additional text to vision to confirm that South Staffordshire will deliver sufficient land, of the right type, to meet the economic and housing growth requirements of South Staffordshire and which will support the growth of the conurbation.
Strategic Objective , and the Plan as a whole, fail to have any regard to the requirement of the NPPF para 140. Safeguarded land should be identified for longer term development needs.
Strategic Objectives 3, 4 and 5 do not reference providing a sufficient quantum of housing to support the growing number of households in the district to provide enough homes to accommodate South Staffordshire’s working population, or to supporting the growth requirements of the conurbation. Additional Strategic Objective should be added to reflect this.
