Given the number of strategically significant strategic employment sites within the M54 corridor the resulting concentration of such a large number of new jobs within the corridor should be matched by the scale and provision of housing in the locality to promote sustainable development. The Local Plan review should safeguard land to provide for more housing convenient to the M54 corridor.

The housing target does not provide sufficient flexibility to ensure that the minimum housing target can be delivered within the Plan period.This is because, typically, some 10% of all permissions and allocations may 'fall out' during the Plan period due to various reasons. Further dwellings should be allocated through the Local Plan Review to ensure the minimum housing requirements can be met despite either delays or problems arising with the delivery of housing allocations. This supports our client’s view that new land should either be allocated or safeguarded for housing development.

Regarding the development strategy for employment, 71% of the Districts employment supply is predicted to come forward on one site (WMI). Should there be an issue over delivery of the site then this could significantly impact the supply of employment land over the plan period.

Proposed Policy DS2 could be viewed as overly rigid in the methods by which these improvements can take place and could be interpreted as requiring compensation through financial means before former Green Belt sites can be developed. Policy DS2 should be re-worded to place a greater emphasis on the delivery of qualitative improvements to environmental quality and accessibility of remaining Green Belt land.

In order to recognise the benefits that the Hilton Cross site has to complement WMI, the Hilton Cross allocation should be extended to provide more land for well-located small scale employment opportunities close to the M54. The proposed extension to Hilton Cross would be served by a new access from the A460 and its release would result in defensible boundaries to the Green Belt being established in the form of existing roads/tracks and tree belts. This allocation should be for Class E(i), (ii) and (iii).
