Respondent: Association of Black Country Authorities
Request that EDNA update is progressed as quickly as possible to inform Duty to Cooperate engagement on Black Country unmet employment needs, having regard to West Midlands Interchange apportionment and West Midlands Strategic Employment Sites Study 2021. Black Country is engaging with other emerging Local Plans including Bromsgrove, Lichfield, Cannock, Telford & Wrekin, Solihull and Stafford on this issue. The WMSESS 2021 identifies a shortfall of strategic sites against past market trends and recommends areas for future work. Request that South Staffordshire engage with the Black Country and other West Midlands local authorities to undertake this follow up work and reflect this in the EDNA.
