Include the following sites to improve the diversity of deliverable sites which will ensure that the delivery of housing with remain consistent through the plan period and that delivery will promote the health of settlements throughout the district:

SITE – Tonge Road, Bishop’s Wood
Disagree with Publication Plan spatial strategy and the decision to omit allocations adjacent to Tier 4 settlements. This approach will not support a proportionate and balanced level of growth across the District or ensure effective delivery across different phases of the plan period. The site at Tong Road is not known to be unduly constrained by topography, ecology, flood risk or heritage and provides an opportunity to deliver Tier 4 growth as identified in the Spatial Housing Strategy and Infrastructure Delivery Plan (2019) consultation.

SITE – Hockerhill Farm, Brewood
This site is readily available and would form an appropriate alternative or additional site allocation to the existing site allocation Site 079. The site would be is adjacent to the Tier 2 settlement of Brewood and would be in keeping with the linear pattern of development along Kiddemore Road.

SITE – Dirty Lane 1, Brewood
Site is located adjacent to the Tier 2 settlement of Brewood, in a sustainable location providing ready access to a range of facilities. Site compares favourably in term of Green Belt impacts, LUC study concludes that release of this parcel would not weaken the Green Belt boundary or the integrity of Green Belt designation. The site is considered to be a suitable candidate as an allocation for residential development and could contribute to the 10% supply on sites less than 1 hectare. Further site investigation required in relation to access.

SITE – Dirty Lane 2, Brewood
Site is located adjacent to the Tier 2 settlement of Brewood, in a sustainable location providing ready access to a range of facilities. Site compares favourably in term of Green Belt impacts, LUC study concludes that release of this parcel would not weaken the Green Belt boundary or the integrity of Green Belt designation. The site is considered to be a suitable candidate as an allocation for residential development and could contribute to the 10% supply on sites less than 1 hectare. Further site investigation required in relation to access.

SITE – Land South of Coven Road, Brewood
Non SHEELA site, in close proximity to the settlement of Brewood. The site is considered a potentially suitable allocation for residential development.

SITE – Land North of Whitehouse Lane, Codsall Wood
The site offers the opportunity for a proportionately sized allocation that respects the scale, character and distinctiveness of its surroundings. The site could help deliver rural housing in the early stages of the plan period.

SITE – Land North of Harriott Hayes Lane, Codsall Wood
The site offers the opportunity for a proportionately sized allocation that respects the scale, character and distinctiveness of its surroundings. The site could help deliver rural housing in the early stages of the plan period.

SITE – Land off Heath House Lane, Bungalow Site, Codsall
The site is located directly adjacent to the Tier 1 settlement of Codsall. The site has a lower ‘harm’ rating in relation to Green Belt than the majority of the land parcel within which it is situated and in comparison to other land parcels near to the settlement edge. The concern for the developer is that the 2019 and 2022 Greenbelt assessments differ in some interpretations when compared to the assessments conducted in 2014 and 2016. Notwithstanding these concerns the 2019 Greenbelt assessment would suggest that the representation site would comprise a natural extension to the settlement edge without comprising the purposes of Greenbelt. The site should be allocated for development to add flexibility to plan allocations and/or to provide future safeguarded land sites.

SITE – Land west of Heath House Lane, Codsall
The site is located adjacent to the Tier 1 settlement of Codsall. Land West of Heath House Lane, Codsall provides capacity for immediate housing development and a substantial and sustainable area of suitable land that can be safeguarded. Site should be read in conjunction with the Bungalow Site (see separate representation). Owing to larger size this site may be physically capable of accommodating first school requirements for Bilbrook/Codsall.
