With regards to South Staffordshire’s climate change emergency, housing development should be focused where there is the minimal requirement for private transport, close to schools, close to public amenities and close to employment opportunities. Housing shouldn’t be built that will encourage residents to move out from the centre of the urban conurbation and then commute
back into the conurbation for work as would be the case for Site 582.

New housing should be built on brownfield sites, in urban centres and close to public transport
and amenities.

Green field sites should be protected as part of the South Staffordshire Climate Change Emergency and these sites encouraged to develop their biodiversity.
