It will be valid until 2033. A Neighbourhood Plan is only concerned with land use and development, not community facilities directly, although it can be used to propose detailed actions and use of S106 agreements by directing funding as suggested during the evidence gathering. This Plan is not intended to simply restrict or prevent development occurring in the Parish, but will focus the local Planning Authority’s attention on the wishes of us, the residents, in the development of Wendover. It will serve as an aide to help developers focus on the requisites for successful and appropriate development, sympathetic to our Parish, the history and setting within the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. -

Building for Life Supplementary Planning Document
BUILDING FOR LIFE Guidance Developed by the Commission for Architecture and Built Environment (CABE) on behalf of the Building for Life Partnership c Copyright Reserved Building for Life Supplementary Planning Document Adopted by Sandwell MBC - April 2011 BUILDING FORSupplementary Planning LIFE Document (Bfl SPD) Sandwell Council adopted Building for Life as a Supplementary Planning Document in April 2011. Building for Life was developed by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) in 2008, on behalf of the Building for Life Partnership, for which CABE reserve the copyright. Building for Life (BfL) has become a widely recognised nationally accredited standard for well-designed new homes and neighbourhoods. The standard provides a framework for evaluating the attractiveness, functionality and sustainability of housing development against adopted government policy and sound design principles. These principles are also reflected locally in the adopted Residential Design Guide (2004) and Residential Intensification Paper (2007). Additionally the BfL model of design excellence is referenced in the Black Country Core Strategy Document as well as Sandwell Local Development Framework documents. BfL will be used to frame revised residential design policy in late 2011 to provide clarity on local design policy links. BfL provides a consistent framework for assessing policy and analysing the merits and failures of new housing development which the Council will utilise in order to raise the quality of new residential environments in Sandwell and to make it clear to developers what the Authority’s expectations are for good quality housing and neighbourhoods. BfL is already used as a post evaluation tool for completed schemes in Sandwell for annual monitoring purposes connected to the Core Strategy. -
