Given the significant remaining shortfall arising in the GBBCHMA and South Staffordshire’s clear functional relationship with the wider HMA (demonstrated by its travel to work patterns, and transport links with Birmingham and the Black Country), the plan’s proposed contribution to the GBBCHMA’s unmet need seem reasonable.
Nearly all of South Staffordshire’s villages are surrounded by Green Belt, therefore it is inevitable that the district will need to release Green Belt to meet its needs and those of the wider GBBCHMA. As such exceptional circumstances have been demonstrated to alter Green Belt boundaries through the draft plan, in accordance with NPPF paragraph 140.
