Heath House Lane Codsall & Wergs G C Codsall Road Chapter 3. Evidence used to inform Spatial Housing Options Page 9 ❑ Question 1: Do you agree that the evidence base used to inform Spatial Housing Options is robust and proportionate? If not, what else should consider? CPC feel evidence is fundamentally flawed Chapter 4. Spatial Housing Options under consideration Page 12 ❑ Question 2: Do you agree that taking account of housing land supply from the start of the new plan period (1 April 2018) is the correct approach? Yes ❑ Question 3: Do you agree that all Safeguarded Land identified in the SAD should be released as a priority and should be delivered at an average density of 35 dwelling per hectare? : No this would prohibit each site on requirements ❑ Question 4: Are there any other options we should consider? Yes linked to Option A Chapter 5. Conclusions on the Spatial Housing Options Page 45 ❑ Question 5: Do you agree that the 7 Spatial Housing Options set out above are appropriate options to consider? Are there any alternative options we have not considered? No more opportunity to mix 7 match for a better effect ❑ Question 6: Do you agree that Spatial Housing Option G is a robust approach to meet needs in the district and to make a contribution towards unmet needs in the GBHMA? No ❑ Question 7: Do you agree that we should continue to explore options for a new settlement? Yes ❑ Question 8: What other information (if any) should we consider before concluding that Green Belt release is justified? GBMH requirement – brownfield sites and We should retain integratory of the greenbelt ❑ Question 9: Have we identified the key criteria for the identification of sites (as set out in Appendix 6)? Are there any other factors we should consider? Feasible land for parking ❑ Question 10: Do you agree that, when selecting sites to deliver the preferred spatial housing strategy, the Council should seek to avoid allocating housing sites that would result in very high Green Belt harm wherever possible? No Neighbourhood Plan

What is neighbourhood planning? Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area. However a Neighbourhood planning cannot stop development identified in a Local Plan A Neighbourhood Plan has the same legal weight as the Local Plan Key Benefits are: • It can protect areas from types of change • It manages change effectively. • It can include policies to influence new building design • It allows us to encourage developers to build what we believe our community • It can protect or propose the creation of open spaces needs and wants. • It gives us, the residents of Codsall more • It can say where and what type of say development should happen • It enables us to ensure we protect the things we value the most Residents wanting to be involved with the Neighborhood Plan please register your interest this evening

We also would like to encourage residents to respond to the latest Local Plan consultation
