Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9295
Received: 20/03/2019
Respondent: Duchy Homes Ltd
Agent: Barton Willmore Planning
Given the findings of the Employment Land Review (2017), we query whether there is adequate evidence regarding employment needs to answer this question.
There is scope for an uplift in the housing requirement as a result of the HS2-related growth, as well the potential to capitalise on the clear need for wider than local employment growth identified through evidence such as the 2015 West Midlands Strategic Employment Site Study (WMSESS), which identifies the M42 corridor as the area of highest demand for strategic industrial and commercial uses (Area A). UPdated WMSESS likely to be published before draft Plan is adopted.
