In the year to 31st March 2007: • The Local Development Scheme Milestones have been met. • The Statement of Community Involvement requirements for publicity and consultation were generally met and often exceeded. • Considerable progress has been made towards the housing target, with the highest net completions recorded since 1998, dwelling completions are on track to reach and exceed the Regional Spatial Strategy targets. • Sandwell has identified a 5-year supply of land available for housing. • 220 affordable dwellings have been provided, with further provision being progressed. • No inappropriate development was permitted in the Green Belt or on wildlife sites and 99.8% of residential completions were on previously developed land. • Housing densities and car parking policies are being met thereby helping achieve sustainability objectives. • 10.42 hectares of employment uses have been developed. • 93 hectares of employment land is readily available. • Some derelict land has been reclaimed. • There has been some loss of employment land to other uses. • Over 60% of all new dwellings were built in locations with good public transport accessibility. • There are now two open spaces managed to Green Flag Award Standard with the addition of Victoria Park, Tipton. • No consents were granted which would have adverse implications on watercourses. • Minerals and waste monitoring indicate positive trends, particularly with regard to municipal waste. • Many of the air quality indicators are below the level of concern, however an Air Quality Management Area has been declared for the whole of the Borough in response to widespread exceedances of Nitrogen Dioxide. Overall the saved policies of the UDP appear to be working and do not currently need amending. However this is only the third year of the AMR and the first time that some of the indicators have been monitored, which has highlighted that in some cases procedures need to be put in place to be able to monitor them in the future. The AMR will usefully form part of the evidence base for the development of policy through the Local Development Framework. 5 Executive Summary Table POLICY POLICY REF POLICY WORKING H1 Housing Land Provision H2 Principal Housing Sites H3 Windfalls H6 Design of Housing Development H7 Amenity of New Housing H9 Affordable Housing H10 People and Their Housing Needs E1 Key Industrial Allocations E2 Business Zones E3 Redevelopment of Existing Non-Allocated Industrial Units E6 Locational Factors T1 General Policy ?

  • Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro Extension
    Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro Extension SEPTEMBER 2018 The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has embarked upon an ambitious plan to regenerate the region and to provide new opportunities for residents and businesses. Central to this plan is the expansion of the Metro network, which will triple in size by 2026, providing high quality, safe and dependable tram travel across much of the region. The Midland Metro Alliance has been appointed by the WMCA to deliver the Metro network throughout the region. The Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro Extension forms part of that network, and will be delivered in two phases. Phase one will run from Wednesbury to Dudley Town Centre, while phase two will take At a glance the route from Dudley to Brierley Hill. Length of route: 11km As a significant part of the 11km route is along a disused railway corridor, much of the preparatory work to date has taken place out of sight. Work started to Phases of Construction: Two become more visible in early 2018, with ground investigation and survey work • Phase 1: Wednesbury to Dudley carried out to inform the Metro designs. Town Centre • Phase 2: Dudley Town Centre to Drop-in-sessions and information events will be held at various locations in the Brierley Hill future to keep people updated on the plans. Proposed Tram Stops: 17 Preconstruction Investigations The Midland Metro Alliance has successfully executed a programme of preconstruction investigation works to inform design solutions. Works to date include extensive site clearance, invasive weed control, ground and structural investigations, drainage surveys, topographical surveys and ground penetrating radar surveys.

  • First New Bridge Installed for Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro Extension
    First new bridge installed for Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension May 12, 2021 Local leaders have celebrated the installation of the first new structure to be installed for the Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension. Sections of the Tame Valley, Walsall and Old Main Line Canal were closed periodically in Autumn and Winter to allow for the demolition of aging bridges. Earlier this week the first new bridge was installed over the Walsall Canal in Wednesbury which has been purpose built to meet the needs of a modern tramway. Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands joined Councillor Jackie Taylor, Sandwell Council Cabinet Member for Sustainable Transport, James Dennison, Enterprise Manager for the Canal & River Trust in the West Midlands and Ian Collins, Midland Metro Alliance Project Director to mark the milestone. Andy Street said: “For decades the Black Country extension of the metro has been talked about but never delivered. So, in my first term as Mayor I negotiated directly with the then-Chancellor to get the cash we needed to make it happen, and now in my second term the new line is coming to life before residents’ eyes. The largest light rail extension being delivered anywhere in the UK, the Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension will be a complete game-changer for the region. Not only is it providing good quality construction jobs for local workers at a critical time, but it’ll also finally re-connect communities in Dudley and Sandwell that have been cut off from the wider transport network for far too long.
