Cala broadly supports the proposals in this chapter. However, unmet need from other authorities should not be left to a later stage of the plan-making process. NPPF Paragraph 1 notes that preparing and maintaining up-to-date plans is important for sustainable development. Also see Paragraph 15 and the reference to up-to-date plans and a framework for meeting housing needs.

Cala is pleased the vision continues to recognise the importance of achieving growth and alongside the five overarching principles on how to achieve this development, the vision represents a clear direction for growth whilst ensuring climate resilience; high quality design; a safe, healthy and inclusive environment; well-connected places; and a biodiverse/ environmentally resilient environment. The overarching vision of ensuring the Districts are great places to live, work and visit, putting communities at the heart of everything reflects chapter 8 of the NPPF, which seeks to promote healthy and safe communities.

Cala would like to see consideration of unmet earlier than suggested in para 3.1. There will likely be requirements from the Greater Birmingham and Black Country Housing Area and to be proactive the Plan should make reference to a realistic level of need to ensure the Plan can meet its housing targets.
