Respondent: Inland Waterways Association (IWA)

IWA does not support the long term growth aspirations for a new settlement.
The area of search shown in Appendix F is misguided and too close to the existing settlements of Stafford, Penkridge or the northern edge of the connurbation (to be extended further north at Cross Green) to form a viable stand-alone new settlement.
Any new settlement should as a matter of principle be beyond the West Midlands Green Belt. However, the scope for this in South Staffordshire is very limited.
