The delivery of 9,089 homes and plan flexibility requirement should be set as a minimum with no restrictions to prevent sustainable growth. In light of the housing shortfall presented by the Black Country Plan and Birmingham Issues and Options, housing targets should be increased.

Site 094, land at Primrose Close, Wheaton Aston, could make a positive contribution to meeting this shortfall.

Omission Site 094, land at Primrose Close, Wheaton Aston, is a logical and sustainable extension to the village - without encroaching towards any settlement - and can provide a residential development in complimentary scale and character to the existing built form. Development would deliver affordable housing, contribute to local infrastructure and community services, and improve access to the adjacent school.

The SHELAA 2022 identifies the site as suitable subject to access, the landowner and Shropshire Homes (promotional partner) are in discussion with a third-party to identify a developable access.

The site is located in Open Countryside, and there are no significant physical features preventing development - including the land being flat - and technical work has identified that any development would have minimal landscape, environmental, and heritage impacts. The site is located in Flood Zone 1, and there are no remediation or contamination issues.

The site is sustainably located in close proximity to village services. The village is serviced by public transport with buses to Stafford, Brewood, and Wolverhampton.

Development would increase the safety of the playing field by providing enhanced surveillance and active frontages.
