Respondent: Mr Ian Clarke
The justification presented is totally at odds with outcome of the similar exercise undertaken by WDC to inform the Core Strategy. This stated "development will be generally directed towards the south of the urban area in order to minimise journeys through the historic town centres to the main employment areas and transport connections in the south, and to avoid incursion into the West Midlands Green Belt to the north, east and west of the urban area to maintain separation between towns and villages".
This is still valid; nothing has changed.
The Council has not justified why its view has changed dramatically.
