Introduction The Black Country Core Strategy (the Joint Core Strategy) will be the key document in the LDF Portfolio of planning documents for each local authority. It will be a spatial planning document that will set out the vision, objectives and detailed spatial strategy for future development in the Black Country up to 2026 along with specific strategic policies and targets. The document will not just consider land use, but also a comprehensive range of environmental, economic and social issues. The Joint Core Strategy is one of the first development plan documents to be produced within the sub-region. The four Black Country Local Authorities will also be preparing additional documents such as Area Action Plans (AAPs) and Site Allocations Development Plan Documents to assist with the delivery of the Spatial Strategy. The milestones for these documents are set out in the individual local authorities’ Local Development Schemes. The Black Country is an area facing considerable challenges over the next 20 years, particularly from the need to build more houses to satisfy the Government’s growth agenda, while at the same time creating an environment where people want to live and that also provides employment opportunities. The aim of the Joint Core Strategy is to balance this high level of growth as well as protect and enhance the Black Country for future generations of residents. The content of the document is as follows: Chapter Two – How to Use this Document – sets out how we would like people to respond to the preferred options set out in the document. Chapter Three – What is the Black Country Like Now? – sets out the context for the Core Strategy. It identifies the main characteristics of the Black Country and the aims of the Core Strategy in terms of the economy, environment and local communities. Chapter Four – The Black Country in 2026: Vision, Spatial Objectives and Spatial Strategy – sets out, firstly, the proposed Vision and Spatial Objectives for the transformation of the Black Country up to 2026, and, secondly, how these will be delivered through a Black Country-wide preferred spatial strategy (illustrated in a key diagram) and detailed spatial strategies for areas of greatest change: the regeneration corridors and strategic centres. The Vision is made up of three directions of change – economic prosperity, sustainable communities and environmental transformation. A number of guiding principles for producing a more sustainable future for the Black Country are also proposed. Chapter Five – Delivery – sets out how the Joint Core Strategy will be implemented. It refers to the mechanisms necessary to manage land use change, identifies the key delivery agencies and major infrastructure requirements that will be required to implement the strategy. Chapter Six – Directions of Change – sets out the policy areas we think we need to take forward into the Core Strategy. The policy areas have been divided into the 3 directions of change identified in chapter 4. 5 Appendix One – Alignment of Community Strategies and the Joint Core Strategy – sets out how the aims and objectives of the Joint Core Strategy align with those set out within the four Black Country Sustainable Communities Strategies. Appendix Two – Regeneration Corridor and Strategic Centre Templates – This separate A3 document sets out the more detailed proposals for each of the Regeneration Corridors and Strategic Centres. In many ways, it is this element of the Joint Core Strategy that will add greatest value to RSS, providing a detailed basis for other Development Plan Documents prepared by the four local authorities. The following information will be provided for each area: • A ‘Vision’ • Main features and opportunities • Summary of consultation responses regarding the area • Explanation of the preferred option or options for the area, including how this has been developed and why any other options have been discarded • A spatial diagram illustrating the key features of the preferred option or options, including broad locations for new development • Land use figures for the preferred option or options, including amount of high quality employment land, local employment land and housing numbers • Key infrastructure requirements to ensure delivery of the preferred option or options • Potential development partners and mechanisms • Sustainability Appraisal feedback • Areas for further work to inform submission stage As with the Key Diagram, this information will be shown in diagrammatic form and will not identify specific site boundaries. 6 2. How to use the document 7 3. What is the Black Country like now The Black Country comprises the City of Wolverhampton and the Metropolitan Boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall with a population of almost 1.1 million. It has a rich heritage, a distinctive character and strong communities, all of which contribute to the enterprise, dynamism, vitality and quality of life in the sub-region. These communities have strong ties to their area and are justly proud of the Black Country’s traditions and achievements. They also take pride in their heritage of miles of canals, quality architecture and open spaces. The Black Country has many social and economic strengths particularly in terms of its cultural diversity and heritage. For example, it is home to more people of Black, Minority and Ethnic (BME) origin (15.2% of the total population) than the national average (9%). In addition, the area has some very attractive and popular residential neighbourhoods and contains natural, historic and environmental features of national and European significance as well as manufacturing companies of international renown. There has recently been growth in town and inner city living and significant developer interest in regenerating our centres and communities to create a better Black Country. However, the local economy continues to perform poorly compared to similar areas elsewhere in the UK. It retains a strong manufacturing sector supporting 22% of total employment, but has failed to sufficiently attract new industries that are driving economic growth elsewhere in the UK. However, the Black Country’s central location has helped it to begin attracting investment in logistics – a growing industry. A £2.6 billion output gap with the rest of the UK has emerged and there are some 100,000

Driven by a 24% increase in births between 2002 and 2016, levels of demand for school provision have increased significantly in recent years. In excess of 3,000 additional places have been commissioned since 2012 in primary schools and since 2017 in secondary schools, to cater for the demographic uplift. The recently witnessed increase in demand for primary provision in the City, has already started to impact on the City’s secondary estate and significant additional capacity will be required to cater for future cohorts.

Centres and Corridors Delivery Summaries E. Brierley Hill Public Transport 2 1. Introduction a) Overview The role of this document, The Delivery and Implementation Plan, is to clearly set out how the Black Country Core Strategy (referred to as the Core Strategy) will be implemented. The Core Strategy is a key element of the Statutory Development Plan, which sets out a detailed spatial strategy and the policies and mechanisms needed for delivery. It is anticipated that the Delivery and Implementation Plan will be reviewed and updated regularly. It sets out in detail: • what The Black Country needs to deliver; • the quantum and phasing of delivery; • infrastructure requirements; • viability; • short term delivery programme (to 2016); and • risks and mitigation measures. b) Past and Present The Black Country is densely populated, has poor ground conditions, a legacy of mining and heavy industry and faces the challenges associated with deprivation. These are all issues that Black Country communities have dealt with in the past (economic restructuring has been ongoing since the 1920’s) however these factors contribute to some of the delivery challenges we currently face in our sub‐region. The Black Country has a strong history of working in partnerships, and has already begun delivering the transformational change set out in the Core Strategy.

  • Perry Hall Mat Parent Bulletin
    Summer 2 2019 PERRY HALL MAT PARENT BULLETIN OBE Awarded to Amarjit Cheema Some of you may have already heard that Amarjit Cheema (CEO) has been awarded with an OBE for her services to education in the West Midlands in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. This is wonderful news for both Amarjit and the Trust and I am sure you will all join with me in sending your congratulations to her. I would also like to send my thanks to all staff within the Trust who work so hard to make their schools and the Trust what it is today. Andrew Brocklehurst – Chair of Trustees Happy 70th Birthday Perry Hall Primary School! This year marks 70 years since Perry Hall School (then a separate Infant and Junior school) opened in 1949. So much has changed in lifestyles, education and the building itself from when it originally opened, so during the Summer Term children have been learning about these changes over the past 70 years. Years 2, 3 and 6 researched Perry Hall itself and discovered that the school’s crest actually belongs to a family from Wednesfield – the Gough family. This family built and lived in several different Perry Halls in Wednesfield, Birmingham and Baltimore, USA. The rest of the school have researched and studied how travel, technology and the local area have changed over time. Our Gardening Club marked the anniversary too, by designing a planter for Wednesfield In Bloom in school colours with mini paper daffodils explaining the meaning behind it. Birthday celebrations culminated on Friday 4th July with a whole school ‘step back in time’ day.
