The overall aim of the strategies is to provide an improved transport network within the area and to help to meet the Longbridge AAP objectives set out below. 1.3 AAP Objectives The vision and the objectives of the AAP have been developed following a consultation exercise with stakeholders and local residents. The objectives of the AAP that emerged were: Objective 1: To establish sustainable communities, which embody the principles of sustainable development and meet social, economic and environmental needs in a balanced and integrated way and meet the needs of existing and future generations. Objective 2: To be at the forefront of sustainable development with commercial buildings, community facilities and housing which showcase excellence in all aspects of environmental sustainability.

House of Fraser – Sutton Coldfield relaunch 2 CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES In 2016 the Sutton Coldfield electorate voted in favour of establishing a town council to represent the interests of the town in a more focused way than is realistically possible for Birmingham City Council. Sutton’s population of some 95,000 covers a wide area that extends from the Staffordshire border to Wylde Green, and from the west side of Sutton Park across to Walmley. Despite the size of this area and its substantial population, it is dwarfed by the sheer scale of Birmingham City which has a total population of 1.2 million; to the south-west the continuous built-up area reaches as far as Rubery (15 miles from the centre of Sutton).
