2021 SHELAA is not identified within Appendix A of the PO although it is an important evidence base document.
Significant errors in scoring the settlements in Appendix 4 of the Rural Services and Facilities Audit; Weston-under-Lizard is identified as having no public transport access to employment and many other facilities, however the settlement is served by a regular bus service with travel times significantly less than 60 minutes to surrounding local/regional centres including Cannock, Shifnal and Telford. Blymhill is identified as having a village hall but fails to recongnise the various uses of the hall.
Categorisation of settlements should be based upon their access to services and facilities.
No consideration has been given to the ability of settlements to accommodate growth when allocating them a tier within the hierarchy. More residential development would help sustain and enhance existing community facilities.
