In respect of helping to address the Greater Birmingham and Black Country Housing Market Area (GBBCHMA) housing shortfall, we consider that development in the most sustainable locations which provides sustainable commuting links to the wider conurbation would be appropriate. We consider that new settlements would also be appropriate, as they would generate a significant scale of housing with associated employment uses, justifying significant infrastructure and transport improvements including new and improved commuting links.

We welcome the acknowledgement of the West Midlands Strategic Employment Sites Study (2024). This assists in meeting an identified regional need for such strategic employment sites.
