Black Country housing shortfall has yet to be tested, therefore the 4000 duty to cooperate allocation should be deferred.
Government is thinking of abolishing 'duty to cooperate'.
Doesn't believe Kinver fits Tier 2 description as it does not contain adequate employment and public transport services. There is no reference in the plan to provide additional services to Kinver.

We object on the basis that the housing need is not clear and not for local residents, but to
accommodate residents of the Black Country and Greater Birmingham under the Duty to
Cooperate. We do not consider the removal of land from the Green Belt on the scale proposed
for 164 houses is justified. These sites are not required to meet any genuine housing need.

Any rational approach to housing provision must integrate it with employment and services.
There is no evidence of developing employment opportunities in Kinver, and services are
already heavily utilised. The policy does not make any reference to additional provision in
either of these respects. The current approach would push Kinver in the direction of becoming
a dormitory town for the nearby urban area, and would increase pollution and congestion in
roads both in the village and surrounding it.
