Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 1 - Meeting South Warwickshire's Sustainable Development Requirements?
Representation ID: 94277
Received: 03/03/2025
Respondent: Dudley MBC
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.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 4- Accommodating Growth Needs Arising from Outside South Warwickshire?
Representation ID: 94300

Respondent: Dudley MBC
Welcome acknowledgement that Stratford-on-Avon falls within the GBBCHMA. Welcome the positive approach to date to address the GBBCHMA housing shortfall. Dudley MBC supports joint working to address the housing shortfall.
Welcome reference to refreshing the 2018 GBBCHMA Growth Study to assess the housing shortfall up to 2050. SWLP should reflect that a housing shortfall across the GBBCHMA has been demonstrated to date and housing shortfalls beyond 2031 are identified.
Welcome the identification of reserve sites that contribute towards the housing shortfall. Release mechanisms should be kept under consideration. SWLP should reflect that housing shortfalls continue to be identified beyond 2031.
