At the preferred options stage, SCC undertook high-level traffic modelling concluding there should be no insurmountable transport problems. Following that, South Staffordshire Council requested developers produce more detailed Strategic Transport Assessments (STA) to demonstrate what transport infrastructure would be required to bring their sites forward.
SCC had concerns over some of the schemes and their deliverability within the Penkridge STA, though believe there will be a solution to bring this site forward.
It is understood the developers are updating the STA and SCC will continue to work with them and is confident that agreement can be achieved prior to examination.
