Almost 50% of the proposed new dwellings would be for “neighbouring Authorities”, which shows the complete lack of concern the Council has for the welfare of current South Staffordshire Residents. It severely reduces the opportunities of young people in South Staffs to buy their own home. The Mayor of the West Midlands has said there are sufficient “Brown Field sites” and other land to meet the needs of Authorities in the Black Country where there are currently 35,000 empty houses. Why are these not being brought back into use? The Government has allocated significant funds for “Brown Field” redevelopment.
