Disagree as the plan is viewed as inappropriate.

The framework identified three overarching objectives which constitute sustainable development, with parts of the economic and social objectives to which are not included within the local plan.

The Local Plan should be amended for South Staffordshire to deliver sufficient land of the right type to meet the economic and housing growth required to support the conurbation.

Disagree with Sratgiegic Objective 1 which should be altered to o reflect the fact that the Preferred Options plan identifies that Green Belt release is necessary and that exceptional circumstances exist.

Strategic Objectives 3, 4 and 5 are designed to address ‘homes and communities’. However, nowhere within any of the Strategic Objectives for Housing is reference made to providing a sufficient quantum of housing to support the growing number of households within South
Staffordshire which should be considered.

Additional Strategic Objectives should be added to confirm the Plan will provide enough houses to meet both South Staffordshire’s and the conurbation’s housing need. Another, to confirm that changes to Green Belt boundaries will have regard to their intended
purpose in the long term, so that they can endure beyond the Plan period.
