The approach to The Spatial Strategy 2038 is viewed as inappropriate as the emerging plan should pan for the minimum standard method housing requirement from the start of the plan period as a baseline, which the SSHMA advises is 5,068 dwellings.

South Staffordshire Council has not correctly factored in affordable housing need and whether an uplift to the District housing requirement is required and not considered uplifting the minimum Standard Method housing figure to take account of economic growth aspirations and the fact that the age profile of South Staffordshire is increasing.


The emerging Local Plan needs to be consider with how the needs of South Staffordshire and the overspill of the Black Country are considered and presented, to make sure that all the relevant housing needs are being met.
