Representation Summary:

4000 homes within the “Duty to cooperate” is too many.
Current population trends and statistics are in review.
Housing numbers for South Staffordshire are bias upward.
Used out of population trend data – these should be re-calculated.
Housing number should be reviewed in light of new information.
South staffs green fields should not be developed for ‘duty to cooperate’ housing. South staffs would have enough brownfield sites to meet local need if these were taken out of the plan and upward bias was removed from calculations.
GBHMA homes are intended for urban areas moving these homes to rural locations will increase carbon emissions.
