Concern that the Greater Birmingham HMA Strategic Growth Study,Self Build Register and 'SHELAA are not included. Regarding the SA, the finding that the site would have a Major Negative impact upon landscape
and townscape accordingly appears to be based upon an incorrect conclusion that the site would result in a 'high' level of harm to the Green Belt.Overall, it is considered that this reconsidered assessment would result a
reduced SA impact score of Minor Negative ('-') for the site in respect of Landscape and Townscape. Also dispute the Major Negative ('--') post-mitigation score
attributed to Site 486a in respect of education.

Policy DS1 is broadly in line with national policy. The recognition within the supporting text that exceptional circumstances exist for Green Belt release within the District to allow for sustainable development within the plan period is also supported. However, this recognition should also be included within Policy DS1, with cross reference made to the relevant sites where Green Belt release is proposed.

Concerned that dwellings proposed through consultation are insufficient. South Staffordshire's need based on the standard method which should be treated as a minimum. May require an economic uplift particularity in light of WMI, i54 and ROF Featherstone employment proposals. No clear evidence that the housing proposed would be enough to support projected job growth. Overall need in GBHMA likely to be well in excess of 66000 homes.
