The previously safeguarded site 416 performs very similarly to the Green Belt element of Site 416, with the only difference being the Green Blet designation. If allocated the Green Belt element would not extend the site any further into the countryside and the Green Belt boundary is illogical and not clearly defined. The existing adjacent safeguarded land and previously developed land within the site does not appear to have been acknowledged in the Green Belt assessment. Lack of allocation of the remaining site may create access issues for Site 416. Given the need for 8,650 dwellings towards the GBBCHMA’s unmet needs there is a need to identify additional sites, in particular in Tier 2 settlements such as Wombourne. The land would contribute to the District’s small sites requirement.
