Preferred Options November 2021
Representation ID: 944
Received: 13/12/2021
Respondent: Gavin Williamson CBE MP
Representation Summary:
Several evidence documents raise a number of key issues present throughout the Preferred Options Plan: firstly, that the district council’s current housing target numbers are too high and inappropriate for South Staffordshire in both a practical and historical context; secondly, that the council’s current approach to meeting the housing need for Gypsy, Traveller, and Travelling Showpeople risks legitimising illegal behaviour and does not represent a positive use of the Duty to Co-operate mechanism.
