Green Belt, provides guidance on the approach the local authority has taken to removing land from the Green Belt. It also identifies the changes being made to the Green Belt boundary in the Plan to accommodate the identified development requirements.As detailed in our representations in respect of the Plans housing requirement, it is our view that the housing requirement is insufficient.

Not only is the amount of land proposed to be removed insufficient to meet the needs arising from South Staffordshire and the conurbation during the current plan period, but there are no safeguarded development opportunities within the Plan. No rationale has been provided for this approach and this approach conflicts with the Framework.

Heywood Developments land interest at Enville Road, Wall Heath should be removed from the Green Belt and allocated for development. However, if this position is not supported the site should be safeguarded as a longer-term development opportunity.
