Respondent: Mr Steven Norton

Houses that are built are unaffordable, and remain empty. A better approach would be to build a new estate like Perton with its own dedicated facilities. The reasoning that Wombourne has good existing facilities should not mean it takes the bulk of new development.

Disagree as the plan is viewed as inappropriate.

The framework identified three overarching objectives which constitute sustainable development, with parts of the economic and social objectives to which are not included within the local plan.

The Local Plan should be amended for South Staffordshire to deliver sufficient land of the right type to meet the economic and housing growth required to support the conurbation.

Disagree with Sratgiegic Objective 1 which should be altered to o reflect the fact that the Preferred Options plan identifies that Green Belt release is necessary and that exceptional circumstances exist.

Strategic Objectives 3, 4 and 5 are designed to address ‘homes and communities’. However, nowhere within any of the Strategic Objectives for Housing is reference made to providing a sufficient quantum of housing to support the growing number of households within South
Staffordshire which should be considered.

Additional Strategic Objectives should be added to confirm the Plan will provide enough houses to meet both South Staffordshire’s and the conurbation’s housing need. Another, to confirm that changes to Green Belt boundaries will have regard to their intended
purpose in the long term, so that they can endure beyond the Plan period.

The Housing Requirement to meet the Growth of South Staffordshire.

Conclusions in the SSHMA are not reflected in the draft Plan which stated the housing need for the period of 2021-2038 is 4,131 dwellings, with a further 750 completions between 2018 and 2021. Combined this gives a housing target of 4,881 dwellings to support the growth of South Staffordshire.The emerging Plan should plan for the minimum standard method housing requirement from the beginning of the plan period as a bassline the advised 5068.

Local Plan has not correctly factored in affordable housing need and weather an uplift to the South Staffordshire housing requirement is required and not considered uplifting the minimum Standard Method housing figure to take account of economic growth aspirations and the fact that the age profile of South Staffordshire is increasing.

Additional Housing to Contribute Towards Meeting the Unmet Needs of the Housing Market Area

South Staffordshire District Council should consider whether the conclusions of the Strategic Growth Study and its update are robust for the purposes of its plan making. The Strategic Growth Study does not
establish housing need using the Standard Method.The housing
needs figure in the Strategic Growth Study is not, therefore, fit for plan making purposes. It is
based upon out-of-date evidence and does not use the Standard Method. Furthermore, the Study covers a period that is not commensurate with the South Staffordshire Plan. Its conclusions are not, therefore, directly transferable in any event.
