Lichfield District Council (LDC) is supportive of SSDC in meeting its own objectively assessed local housing need through the allocation of a minimum of 4,086 homes as detailed within Policy DS4: Development Needs. LDC welcomes the contribution of 640 dwellings towards unmet need within the wider HMA, however the reduced level of contribution will need to be robustly evidenced and justified in the context of the emerging unmet housing needs within the GBBCHMA.

LDC supports the approach taken by SSDC in addressing local and wider need in the Black Country for employment land as expressed in policy DS4.

LDC acknowledges the position that SSDC is having to take regarding gypsy and traveller provision and supports the proposals in policy DS4.

LDC supports the position in policy DS1 whereby SSDC is making releases from the Green Belt to meet its own and wider area housing need.The deletion of the previous Green Belt site allocations SA2 and SA7 and the resultant fall in HMA contribution will need to be fully and robustly justified in the context of the significant scale of the HMA housing shortfall, particularly given South Staffordshire’s geographical and transport links with the Black Country and Birmingham.
