I don't think the release of Green Belt Land adjacent to Cannock Town Centre has been sufficiently considered under the Duty to Co-operate and emerging Cannock Chase Local Plan.

We have already been [redacted] with WMI, and now you are looking for somewhere to house workers ? Perhaps that should have been considered before making the previous decision.

Solution - Retract permission for WMI - problem solved.

We support the policy approach in and Policy DS4 –Longer Term Growth Aspirations for a New Settlement. The Black Country and West Birmingham CCG have been involved in providing information to inform the visions and strategic objectives of the Local plan. The Black Country & West Birmingham CCG have submitted separately a closed assessment of new housing development close the boundary of the Black Country and the affect that impact has on the Health Care Infrastructure of the Black Country and West Birmingham CCG.

We have no comment on the approach to a new settlement given it is understood this will address needs in future plan reviews and not meet any need arising in this plan.

Overall I do support that Longer Term Growth Aspirations, however infrastructure needs to increase in-between villages, along with increased in greener transport links including cycle lanes. Housing increase needs to occur around city centres and connect villages, without expanding in to open countryside of free land, rather than taking up and extending in to open countryside which will cause further damage to the environment. E.g Land in Bilbrook is appropriate as it will connect towards pendeford, alongside increasing cycle paths and bus links which will improve both villages and not one.

I do not see any evidence, in the built environment or local services provided so far, to indicate that this is a realistic goal or is taken seriously. Rather, it seems to be an unlikely aspiration delivered largely as a sop to those who rightfully object to increased pressure and an unreasonable determination to meet the needs of Birmingham and the Black Country over those of existing residents.

Generally sound but aspirational - are we to believe that a new development along the 449 would really include suitable provision for public transport and reduce vehicle dependency ? And that affordable housing would form part of that, where we have previously seen little sign of this when undertaken by third parties (excepting that a council would be less financiually motivated so could conceivably provide this)

Keon Homes notes Policy DS4, which recognises the Council’s aspiration to explore the potential for a sustainable, independent new settlement.
Policy DS4 recognises that such an option would not contribute to housing growth during the proposed plan period to 2038 which is agreed. A new settlement proposal, even if a suitable and viable option were to be identified, would take a long time to masterplan and deliver and would need to be delivered alongside infrastructure on a scale much larger than a usual development

If a suitable option came forward to deliver a new settlement beyond the plan period, proposed Policy DS4 sets out the parameters that a new settlement would need to incorporate. The HBF agree that a new settlement will require significant forward planning. As set out in the 2021 NPPF, where a new settlement forms part of the Spatial Strategy, policies should be set within a vision that looks further ahead (at least 30 years) to account for the likely timescale for delivery (para 22).

Whilst delivering a new settlement reflects one method of delivering long-term growth, SSC must consider the difficulties of delivering new settlements in terms of the infrastructure required, which can result in significant lead-in times. Thus, BHL believes that SSC should consider other methods of long-term growth, such as identifying safeguarded Green Belt sites in the emerging plan that would be released as required.

Moreover, should SSC advance in considering a new settlement, they must consider the relationship it has with the North of Penkridge strategic allocation; which must be considered the Council's preferred option.

"The Council anticipates ..." is not a good enough explanation of a policy approach, it#s completely flawed. You cannot expect to get approval on this development because you propose it to be 'beautifully designed'.

Interestingly the comment "Where this is not realistically achievable, put in place measures to ensure the delivery of direct and convenient sustainable transport to higher order services and employment in nearby towns and cities."

.. so you're planning to tap into the Wednesfield community, where transport is poor, services are stretched, school places are at a minimum and it takes weeks for a doctors appointment ?

The aspiration for a new settlement is not objectionable. However, this is intended to come forward beyond the plan period some 17 years in the future, whereas the need for pressing need for specialist accommodation is today. There is also no mention of specialist accommodation within the policy itself.

Land Fund do not have any specific comments to make on Policy DS4, recognising that it represents a longer term aspiration to identify a New Settlement which will assist in meeting future housing need beyond the needs identified within the LPR at Policy DS3.

This approach aligns with paragraph 22 of the NPPF and represents the first steps in identifying a vision which will pave the way for plan making beyond the LPR.

This would depend where a new settlement were to be located within a nature recovery network and whether it would enhance it and contribute to biodiversity objectives. A new settlement could provide opportunities to create new habitats and achieve net gain, if located on less environmentally valuable land.

Potential sites should be checked against the NRN map to see whether they fall within critical habitat corridors, and whether this would be an issue, or opportunity, for the network. Appropriate survey of sites for ecological constraints should be carried out before decisions are made as to capacity and suitability for development.

Located where it would not impact on designated sites. Design should minimise environmental impacts & contribute to environmental and ecological networks. Consider water quality, air quality and minimising impact on soil and look to improve local environmental conditions.
