The housing requirement should be increased significantly, and new allocations identified adjacent to the edge of the conurbation. Land at Yew Tree Lane (sites 243 and 504) are identified as being ‘potentially suitable’ for development in the SHELAA.
The sites are in a very sustainable location and immediately adjoin the built-up edge of Wolverhampton within a short distance of a number of services and facilities.
The development of these sites would not extend the existing pattern of development further west than existing development to the north and south.
The Green Belt Study 2019, parcel S46, notes ” reduction in separation ( …between Perton and Tettenhall) would increase the extent to which the settlements are perceived to form part of the large built-up area. However there are a few locations within the narrower strips/wedges of Green Belt that separate villages (e.g. Perton) from the main body of the conurbation that are too contained to make a strong contribution, regardless of openness. These parcels of land would have a limited impact on the purposes of Green Belt. There are clear and defensible boundaries; a high-quality residential
development scheme could be delivered; principal points of access to both parcels of land would be from Wrottesley Road and an opportunity to create a secondary access point on to Yew Tree Lane. A significant area of public open space could be created on the sites’ western edge and could provide 120-140 dwellings and would make a significant contribution to the housing requirement.
