Object to comment that the Green Belt ‘contributes towards rural character’. Green Belt is a development restraint policy and is not a landscape or character policy. Council should amend Policy DS1 and supporting text to represent national policy.

Unclear how the Council have concluded that the flexibility allowance should be 13%, request clarification.

The council have allocated the minimum figure derived from the Standard Model. PPG identifies examples where additional growth beyond the minimum requirement may be appropriate. It is considered that there is scope to increase the District’s housing allocation to address the following matters:
-increase proportionately the contribution towards GBBCHMA shortfall given emerging evidence from the Black Country and Birmingham on the true extent of the shortfall. Commitment to contribution should be set out in a Joint Statement of Common Ground with other GBBCHMA authorities.
- to take account of impact of the 35% uplift applied to Birmingham and Wolverhampton
-improve affordability and choice and improve reliability of supply.
- Housing Market Assessment 2021 fails to consider the impact of the committed economic development at WMI in association with the increasing shortfall emerging across the GBBCHMA.
-updated HMA 2022 does not consider the impact of committed WMI and employment developments at i54 & ROF.
