The Council’s [RSFA] identifies Wedges Mills as a Tier 5 settlement, and therefore does not propose any allocations within the settlement, or at all along the edge of Cannock.

The PPG and Friends of the Earth High Court judgment are clear that reasonable alternatives must be identified and assessed to provide adequate reasoning for why sites should be preferred or rejected in favour of alternative means.
St Philips welcome the Council’s recognition of the need to review the Green Belt to ensure that its housing needs, and a contribution to the GBHMA’s unmet needs can be met. St Philips has some concerns regarding the site selection process carried out and considers the methodology and assessment of individual sites to be flawed with regards to their land interests at Wolverhampton Road, Wedges Mills.
