Respondent: Gavin Williamson CBE MP
Representation Summary:
Overall housing target should be reduced meaning that several sites under SA5, including those which residents have had severe concerns about, could have their numbers greatly reduced or be withdrawn from the plan entirely. The Council should revisit its housing allocations in light of the massive oversupply of employment land that the West Midlands Interchange (WMI) will provide over the Local Plan period - this should be a consideration in Duty to Cooperate negotiations. The council should review its employment land allocations and look to free up long standing employment land, including brownfield and part-brownfield sites, for use as housing land instead.
