The contribution provided to the GBBCHMA housing shortfall may need to rise as ABCA representation to Shropshire Regulation 19 consultation indicates.
Additional release of land in South Staffordshire is required to meet Black Country needs.
Level of growth in Tier 4 settlements is considered to be inappropriate as it fails to recognise their sustainability, helping to protect and enhance their village centres.
Diminishing supply of brownfield land within settlements requires allocations in all settlements to meet demand arising from local community to support and enhance local community services in Tier 4 settlements.
It is unclear whether requirement for 10% of housing will be on sites less than 1ha, NPPF Paragraph 69 notes the 10% requirement is a minimum figure and the allocation of such sites to meet this is necessary for the plan to be found sound. Allocations in Tier 4 settlements can achieve this.
