The site at Langley Road, (site reference 582), is proposed to accommodate 390 houses presumably as part of the GBBCHMA unmet need as it abuts the GBBCHMA boundary (specifically Dudley). A large portion of the site appears to contain surface water/ponds. There are also large areas of overgrown scrub. Furthermore, the site sits adjacent to an electric substation and it is highly likely that any housing development will be required to leave a buffer around the electric substation for safety purposes. When these constraints are considered, along with the WW2 gun battery, the developable area is likely to be significantly reduced, impacting on the overall site capacity.
