Extremely concerned by the scale of the proposed housing, which seems grossly exaggerated. The Plan reports a need for 1,679 dwellings per annum, but suggests allocating 600 surplus houses (perhaps this relates to including Greater Birmingham provision). This will have a significant negative impact on the region, nature and protected species. Local Plan must not disregard the Environment Act 2021 target of 30% of land allocated to nature and in recovery by 2030.

Land supply in the region is already over the minimum rolling housing land supply. Houses not needed today or in the next five+ years.
