Redditch Growth
Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council gave
the opportunity for the public to have your say on the location of
new houses and employment land in and around Redditch.
The West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy
(RSS), the planning document for the whole region was being revised
and had recently been subject to a Public Inquiry. The Inspectors
Report stated how many houses need to be built and how much
employment land needed to be provided in the region up to 2026.
Redditch Borough is unable to accommodate all of the housing and
employment land required to meet its needs. It is therefore
necessary for some of the new houses and employment land to be
located in Bromsgrove District next to the boundary with
Redditch.
You can download the consultation
booklet
which
has more details on the development targets for Redditch Borough
and to find out more about where development can be located in
Redditch Borough. The booklet puts forward a range of options for
development next to the border in Bromsgrove District to meet
Redditch’s needs.
For a more detailed background to the sites
identified within Redditch Borough and a draft Development
Strategy policy, you can read the
consultation document.
You can use this response
form to submit your comments
in writing to either Council. Or you can send your comments by
e-mail to either 
LDF@bromsgrove.gov.uk or
devplans@redditchbc.gov.uk
The deadline for comments was Monday
22nd March 2010.
