It is our view that housing allocations included within the Plan to support the growth of the conurbation should be directed to locations close to where the need arises. The Plan’s spatial strategy for housing should be predicated on making allocations adjacent to the conurbation to meet its need, or within a sustainable commuting distance, to help reduce the need to travel. The housing requirement should be increased and redistributed so that further allocations are made adjacent to the built-up edge of the Black Country.

The distribution of development set out in Table 8 should be revised. Additional development should be directed to the built up edge of the conurbation. Land at Enville Road, Wall Heath should be removed from the Green Belt and allocated for development.
