Draft Recommendations on the Future Electoral Arrangements for South Staffordshire Draft recommendations on the future electoral arrangements for South Staffordshire May 2000 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND The Local Government Commission for England is an independent body set up by Parliament. Our task is to review and make recommendations to the Government on whether there should be changes to the structure of local government, the boundaries of individual local authority areas, and their electoral arrangements. Members of the Commission are: Professor Malcolm Grant (Chairman) Professor Michael Clarke CBE (Deputy Chairman) Kru Desai Peter Brokenshire Pamela Gordon Robin Gray Robert Hughes CBE Barbara Stephens (Chief Executive) We are statutorily required to review periodically the electoral arrangements – such as the number of councillors representing electors in each area and the number and boundaries of wards and electoral divisions – of every principal local authority in England. In broad terms our objective is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, and the number of councillors and ward names. We can also make recommendations for change to the electoral arrangements of parish councils in the district. This report sets out the Commission’s draft recommendations on the electoral arrangements for the district of South Staffordshire. © Crown Copyright 2000 Applications for reproduction should be made to: Her Majesty’s Stationery Office Copyright Unit.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND iii iv LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND SUMMARY The Commission began a review of the electoral arrangements for South Staffordshire on 28 September 1999. • This report summarises the representations we received during the first stage of the review, and makes draft recommendations for change. We found that the existing electoral arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in South Staffordshire: • in 16 of the 26 wards the number of electors represented by each councillor varies by more than 10 per cent from the average for the district and three wards vary by more than 20 per cent from the average; • by 2004 electoral equality is expected to be largely unchanged, with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10 per cent from the average in 14 wards and by more than 20 per cent in three wards. Our main draft recommendations for future electoral arrangements (Figures 1 and 2 and paragraphs 82-83 are that: • South Staffordshire District Council should have 49 councillors, one less than at present; • there should be 25 wards, instead of 26 as at present; • the boundaries of 19 of the existing wards should be modified and seven wards should retain their existing boundaries; • whole council elections should continue to take place every four years. These draft recommendations seek to ensure that the number of electors represented by each district councillor is as nearly as possible the same, having regard to local circumstances. • In 23 of the proposed 25 wards the number of electors per councillor would vary by no more than 10 per cent from the district average. • This level of electoral equality is expected to remain constant with the number of electors per councillor in 23 wards expected to vary by no more than 10 per cent from the average for the district in 2004. LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND v Recommendations are also made for changes to parish council electoral arrangements which provide for: • revised warding arrangements and the redistribution of councillors for the parishes of Bilbrook, Penkridge, Perton and Wombourne; • revised warding arrangements for the parishes of Cheslyn Hay, Codsall, Kinver and Great Wyrley; • an increase in the number of councillors serving Huntington Parish Council; • a redistribution of councillors for the parish of Lapley, Stretton & Wheaton Aston. This report sets out our draft recommendations on which comments are invited. • We will consult on our draft recommendations for eight weeks from 9 May 2000. Because we take this consultation very seriously, we may move away from our draft recommendations in the light of Stage Three responses. It is therefore important that all interested parties let us have their views and evidence, whether or not they agree with our draft recommendations. • After considering local views, we will decide whether to modify our draft recommendations and then make our final recommendations to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions. • It will then be for the Secretary of State to accept, modify or reject our final recommendations. He will also determine when any changes come into effect.

The applicant has not taken into account db symmetry’s proposals which are coming forward for the Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange (HNRFI) at junction 2 of the M69. This scheme is considered to be a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). It should be noted that this proposal is located within 5 miles of Nuneaton which is in the West Midlands. On this basis the Hinckley proposal is perfectly positioned to absorb a percentage of the capacity deemed to be essential at Four Ashes to service the Arc of the West Midlands. Accordingly, the scale of the West Midlands Interchange could be decreased. Paragraph 2.1 (b) states that the need for a SRFI development in this quadrant of the West Midlands has been identified since, at least, 2004. Identified by the Strategic Rail Authority 2004, the Strategic Rail Authority, West Midlands Regional Logistics Study; and successive drafts of the West Midlands Regional Spatial strategy which included conclusions of the appointed Examining Panel.

    This report is PUBLIC [NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED] Agenda Item No: 8 Cabinet Meeting 23 April 2014 Report title South Staffordshire Site Allocations Document – Issues and Options Consultation Decision designation AMBER Cabinet member with lead Councillor Peter Bilson responsibility Economic Regeneration and Prosperity Key decision Yes In forward plan Yes Wards affected All Accountable director Tim Johnson, Education and Enterprise Originating service Planning / Community and Recreation Accountable employee(s) Michèle Ross Senior Planning Officer Tel 01902 55(4038) Email [email protected] Report to be/has been N/A considered by Recommendation(s) for action or decision: The Cabinet is recommended to: 1. Approve the following as the basis of the Council’s response to the South Staffordshire Site Allocations Document (SAD) – Issues and Options consultation: • South Staffordshire covers large areas of Green Belt land, but those parts which are of most strategic importance are located around the urban area, as they stop settlements from merging and also support urban regeneration. Therefore it is of key importance to maintain the gap between the Black Country urban area and South Staffordshire villages. Report Pages Page 1 of 15 This report is PUBLIC [NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED] • In the case of Perton, only site 3(A) should be allocated for housing up to 2028 and any safeguarded land up to 2038, as this site makes the least contribution to Green Belt purposes and will not reduce the gap between Wolverhampton and Perton. If sites 1(D), 2(C) and 5(C), which would reduce this gap, are considered for housing allocations or safeguarding, this should be designed to: minimise any reduction of the gap; include appropriate landscaped buffers to reduce impact on Wolverhampton residents; have main road access from Perton; and maintain the existing no left turn / no right turn between Wrottesley Park Road and Pattingham Road.
