    Our ref: 27.02.17 J035136 Your ref: Mr Grant Mitchell Planning and Strategic Services South Staffordshire Council Council Offices Wolverhampton Road Codsall South Staffordshire WV8 1PX 27 February 2017 Dear Mr Mitchell, South Staffordshire Local Plan Site Allocations Document (SAD) ‘Publication Plan’ Consultation January 2017 GL Hearn acts on behalf of Severn Trent Water (STW) in relation to their land interests within South Staffordshire north of and adjacent to the existing i54 South Staffordshire employment site and is instructed to make representations to the current consultation stage of South Staffordshire Local Plan Site Allocations Document (hereafter SAD). STW’s landholding, which is no longer required for operational use, is identified on the attached Location plan and is proposed for future allocation as employment land within the South Staffordshire SAD. Land west of i54 South Staffordshire Council (SSC) will be aware that STW controls the land to the west of the existing i54 employment site that forms the northern part of the proposed extension to this strategic employment site (ref. ‘Land west of i54’) under emerging policy SAD5 ‘Employment Land Allocation’. STW strongly supports the proposed i54 extension identified within the SAD, which is considered to be a logical extension to the existing i54 site, and can confirm the availability of the land for development. These representations support earlier submissions made on Severn Trent’s behalf, which have consistently expressed support for the proposed allocation. Further to our meeting in May 2016, STW will seek to work collaboratively with SSC and Wolverhampton City Council (WCC) to successfully deliver the proposed extension to i54.

Implementation Plan: Outcomes ...................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2 Foreword When West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) launched its Cycling Charter I was very excited to become Cycling Champion - and championing the Black Country Cycling & Walking Strategy is an essential element of that role. Our vision is to realise the full potential of the importance of cycling and walking to the health and wealth of the Black Country – creating more sustainable suburbs, towns and cities that are healthier, safer and more desirable place to live, work and learn. I am genuinely passionate about this issue and the opportunity to promote this ambitious campaign. As an occasional Black Country cyclist myself, I’m looking to work with other people who really know the issues and have practical ideas to boost bikes as a mainstream means of transport. The aim is to make a bike a safer and easier routine travel choice, through improved infrastructure such as cycle lanes, cycle priority and improvements at stations and other public spaces. Historically the West Midlands region has had fewer people choosing to cycle to work than other metropolitan regions - and we want to change that.
