  • South Staffordshire Response Cannock Chase Council Supports
    South Staffordshire response Cannock Chase Council supports the continued positive approach to meeting wider Housing Market Area needs and acknowledgment of the necessity to reconsider the levels of provision as the quantity of the shortfall is reviewed on an ongoing basis. It is noted that this stage of the consultation covers housing growth only; is strategic in nature; and that individual site are not yet being considered. However, it is understood that the preferred strategic spatial approach will inform the future selection of development sites and broad locations are identified as part of the Preferred Spatial Strategy Option G. As part of this, it is noted that paragraph 2.7 of the consultation document states ‘the distribution of housing growth proposed in this consultation may alter to reflect specific site opportunities once these are assessed in more detail.’ Cannock Chase Council would welcome continued discussions as part of the site selection process in relation to any potential cross boundary sites and sites that lie in proximity to the Cannock Chase District boundary. It is noted that as part of the indicative preferred spatial strategy there appear to limited levels of additional housing proposed (in addition to existing allocations and safeguarded land) in areas adjacent to Cannock Chase District, primarily at Huntington and Cheslyn Hay/Great Wyrley. As outlined in the Cannock Chase District Local Plan Issues and Options (May 2019) the Council is currently considering options for accommodating its own housing needs, and potentially those of the wider HMA. The document identified that after taking into account the existing urban capacity for development, and the potential capacity arising from the former Rugeley Power Station redevelopment, there would be a shortage against the District’s own housing needs alone (before consideration of wider HMA needs).

It also gives a voice to the many groups and communities that make up our Borough. • What we have tried to create is an interesting, informative and easily digestible document that succinctly summarises the key needs of our local communities. • The eJSNA is intended to be a living document which will be updated regularly by partners and provides the basis for informing the commissioning plans of health bodies and local public service organisations.

Etchinghill itself survives as an area of unenclosed land dotted with trees representing the remnants of a heath which once dominated this zone. Map 26 shows the known heritage assets within the zone including a mound which was once thought to be a Bronze Age mound, but is probably geological in origin118. Horse racing was taking place by 1834, although 17th century documents refer to ‘foot- racing’ over a three mile course at Etching Hill119. By the late 19th century a rifle range had been established within the zone and the butts may survive as an earthwork upon Etchinghill. The zone lies within the Cannock Chase AONB.
