Policy DS4 - Longer Term Growth Aspirations for a New Settlement
This policy is extremely odd as given the policy principle of avoiding the green belt the only area of search is between the extended Penkridge and the Dunston.
The policy is un-achievable.
To deliver any sizeable infrastructure it will need to be several thousand new dwellings and should also have some employment. This suggests a location at Dunston. No doubt an additional station has been suggested, but given the capital costs and the shortness of the journey times together with line capacity it’s deliverability has to be questionable. Far better to extend Stafford south into South Staffordshire as it has a core of facilities and bus services rather than create a “village” which relies on other locations for the bulk of its services.
