St Philips site at Wolverhampton Road, Wedges Mills (Site ref: 202) has been assessed as part of the updated SA and HSSTP and discounted on the basis of Green Belt harm and landscape impact. However, St Philips contend that the developable area would not significantly extend beyond the current line of development along Wolverhampton Road, and would be contained within the existing tree-lined field boundary.
St Philips consider that it is entirely reasonable, and appropriate, for land which fulfils strong Green Belt purposes to be released where exceptional circumstances are evidenced. The site is located on the edge of Wedges Mills, which has high sustainability
credentials in terms of proximity to the existing shops and services in Cannock, and access to existing transport routes and infrastructure.
