Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 6494
Received: 17/02/2017
Respondent: IM Properties
Agent: Turley
WMLC report suggests strategic employment sites (>25ha) is a prerequisite for growth in West Midlands. Two respondents to 'call for evidence' confirmed that lack of such available sites precludes them from operating in the WM.
SMBC should ensure they do not restrict opportunities for this type of investment/development.
WMLC suggest undertaking a strategic Green Belt review of West Midlands. Our view that site allocations should be based on sustainable locations rather than land that contributes the least towards purposes of Green Belt. As BVP and Fore are already allocated site, they are considered sustainable locations, obvious locations for future growth.
