Mike returned my call on 17th April to discuss the Core
Strategy and Brierley Hill AAP. Mike didn’t feel that there were
any cross-boundary issues for the Core Strategy. Their only
concern was likely to be around Brierley Hill although Mike
commented that he didn’t think that BH was going to take
much trade away from Bromsgrove. They are preparing an
AAP for Bromsgrove looking to build on its historic interest and
create a café culture. Mike suggested that when some
consultation materials are published they’ll consider putting in

An Area Action Plan
You may wonder why there is a diagram about
planning in our newsletter! It is because over
the next few months, an Area Action Plan has
to be produced for the regeneration of Brierley
Hill Town Centre. This has to fit into a whole
range of national, regional and sub-regional
plans as shown below.
Part of the process requires the Council
planners to consult with members of the local
community. However, there is a feeling that a
lot of work has been done over the last
decade about which we have been consulted,
so that we don’t need to run extensive
processes this time.
Nevertheless, if you want to know more or
have views about any aspect of the plans,
please contact Nicki Thomas 816967 or Tim
Brown 817215 of the Council’s Planning
Department, or speak to Mike Mason or one of
our Ward Councillors.
There will also be more information at the
Brierley Hill Area Committee on Thursday 29
March - look out for more details.

Letter Advertising the Frontloading Consultation
Sent to All Consultees on the Council’s Database on
6th March 2007
Dear Sir/Madam,
Brierley Hill Area Action Plan Frontloading Consultation
Dudley Council is preparing an Area Action Plan for Brierley Hill. This Area Action
Plan will set out the detail of where, when and how development and regeneration
will be delivered within the Brierley Hill area provided that strategic centre status is
granted through the Phase 1 Revision of the West Midlands Regional Spatial
Strategy.
We are currently at the start of the process where everyone has the opportunity to
influence the direction of the Area Action Plan work. Dudley Council is currently
working to identify the issues that the Brierley Hill Area Action Plan will have to
respond to and what options there are to deal with those issues and we would value
your contribution to help shape the future of the area.
Dudley Council recognises that Brierley Hill has a long history and much work has
already been undertaken over the last 10 years, including most recently through the
Black Country Study and Phase One of the Regional Spatial Strategy revision.
However, if you have any issues which you would like to raise at this stage in the
process, or would like to suggest any options for responding to those issues, or have
any plans that would affect the future of Brierley Hill, please could you let us know by
the 13th April 2007.
Issues raised by yourselves and others will help to ensure that the document reflects
local needs and aspirations and that positive regeneration will be delivered in Brierley
Hill which benefits the wider community. Key issues which you may wish to consider
include the following:
•
•
•
Vision: What should Brierley Hill look like in 2021 and beyond?
Objectives: What are the main objectives to achieve this vision?
Priorities: What issues should be addressed and which priorities should we
have?
The key role of the Area Action Plan is to provide a spatial policy framework to
facilitate the development of Brierley Hill. The aim of frontloading the process is to
seek consensus on essential issues early on in the plan production process, to allow
all stakeholders the opportunity to contribute to the content of the plan.
Dudley MBC will undertake a Sustainability Appraisal of the Brierley Hill Area Action
Plan which incorporates Strategic Environmental Assessment and Equality Impact
Assessment. A Scoping Report has been prepared which sets out some key facts
about the area and proposes a sustainability framework for assessing the options
Page 39
and policies within the Area Action Plan. The Scoping Report is available to
download from the link below or you can contact us to obtain a copy.
If you wish to raise any issues, options for responding to those issues, or comment
on the scoping report, please write to us before 13th April 2007 at:

Alternatively, email Kelly Darby: [email protected], phone us on 01384
815681 or fax on 01384 814141. Further information will be posted on the website
as it becomes available at:
http://www.dudley.gov.uk/environment--planning/planning/local-developmentframework/bhill-aap
The results from this early engagement will be considered alongside the technical
evidence to identify the issues and options in Brierley Hill. An ‘Options’ paper will
then be produced which sets out those issues and options. This will be published for
public consultation in July 2007 and the responses to this will inform the Preferred
Options document which we aim to publish for further consultation in January 2008.
Yours sincerely,
Kelly Darby

SA and SEA - Some of the key deliverables
may need to be extended to have greater
regard for climate change and environmental
improvement.
AAP – The vision should include the following
principles: high quality environment,
sustainable living, enhanced green
infrastructure, protection and enhancement of
valuable natural and built resources.
Suggested objectives:
• Enhance and manage the built and natural
resources of Brierley Hill in a sustainable
and integrated manner. To bring about a
step change in biodiversity management
and the adoption of a Green Infrastructure
planning approach that will lead to net gain;
retaining and enhancing landscape
character and distinctiveness.
• Ensure that development in Brierley Hill
follows good practice for “green living” and
makes it easy for people to live in an
environmentally friendly way by using the
highest standards of design (including
energy efficiency/ renewable energy,
sustainable construction methods and
green technologies), and ensuring
sustainable transport choice. This will
maximize environmental performance and
encourage healthy lifestyles.
• Create a development framework which is
based on maintaining distinctive and
separate settlements which will encourage
a “sense of place” and maintain local
character.
The suggestions
presented for the
vision, objectives
and priorities have
been considered
within the final
Issues and Options
document. These
points will also be
considered further
in the Preferred
Option Report.
The document
“Environmental
Quality in Spatial
Planning” has been
reviewed.
Attention should be given to the document
“Environmental Quality in Spatial Planning”.
Page 41
The AAP should set out a logical approach to
the sequence of ‘avoidance, mitigation and
compensatory measures’. Environmental
capacity issues should be assessed in relation
to accommodating development.
Priorities should be:
Climate change – policies should reflect this
issue given highest priority by the government.
Green infrastructure – underused and
inaccessible open spaces should be improved
and enhanced to bring multiple benefits to the
area.
High standards of design – AAP should set
high standards of design for all new
development.
Protecting and enhancing natural assets – the
environmental capacity of BH should be
viewed as a very important asset and
contributor to good quality of life.
Designated sites – these sites, of which there
are a number in BH, should have the highest
level of policy protection.
Environmental assets that are not statutorily
designated – conservation management
should not focus on individual sites, green
spaces should be able to link with surrounding
countryside.
Landscape character – the AAP could identify
parts of the plan area suitable for strategic
landscape enhancement.
Accessibility to the countryside and
sustainable recreation – policies could reflect
initiative of ‘Walking the Way to Health’ run
from Russell’s Hall Hospital on Barrowhill LNR.
Sustainable transport – a strong commitment
to link walking and cycling strategies should
stem from the JCS and inform local plans and
initiatives.
Promoting renewable energy – the AAP should
include a policy which promotes renewable
energy generation within the capacity of the
environment.
Monitoring – The JCS again should inform
upon this by identifying a range of indicators
with appropriate targets.

Heritage
The assessment for Conservation areas
should not be confined only to the High Street
but should embrace wider area and the historic
environment should be broadly defined

document explicit cross reference should be
made to the SEA to demonstrate compliance.
Appendix 2 should contain the following:
• UNESCO World Heritage Convention
• Heritage Protection White Paper (March
2007)
• Planning (Listed Buildings and
Conservation Areas) Act 1990
• Ancient Monuments and Archaeological
Areas Act 1979
The last part of objective 10 in Box 2.10 should
be amended along the following lines “…
assets, and the historic character of the
townscape”
Any proposed allocations should be based on
the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment which
Dudley MBC should be producing in
accordance with PPS25 – reference to
floodplains, river corridor restoration and
sustainable drainage should be included within
the BH AAP.
The Brierley Hill area has a legacy of land
contamination and information held by the
Environment Agency recognizes four sites as
being in the vicinity of the central area: Former
Round Oak petrol station, Victoria
Street/Dudley Road; Daniel’s Land, Merry Hill;
Pensnett Lime Stabilisation, Brierley Hill; and
Thorns Road, Quarry Bank, Brierley Hill.
According to PPS23, new developments within
potentially contaminated areas such as the
Brierley Hill area must be accompanied by a
preliminary risk assessment to assess the risk
of contamination on the water environment and
the management of such risks. Appropriate
measures must be put in place to minimize the
impacts of new developments on the water
environment and SUDS methods should be
used where suitable. Sustainable design
including energy and water efficiencies should
be required with challenging targets set above
the national guidelines for mitigating against
and adapting to climate change.
No specific concerns at this time, however,
priority should be given to a heavy rail and
LRT public transport system to serve the area.
Michael Dunphy (Local Plans) commented that
he didn’t think that Brierley Hill was going to
take much trade away from Bromsgrove. They
are preparing an AAP for Bromsgrove looking
to build on its historic interest and create a

strategy for the Black Country on neighbouring
centres.
Staffordshire County Council didn’t have any
concerns regarding Brierley Hill apart from
reiterating the importance of improvement to
public transport accessibility into the centre.
David Hughes called to discuss the purpose of
the AAP. David said that there may be some
future proposals in the Brierley Hill area,
particularly for the older housing estates. He
will contact the Planning Policy Team again
when he is aware of any proposals.
Note should be taken of the provisions of the
Midland Metro Extension Order.
There should be no detrimental impact on the
key bus routes into BH.
If any public transport is to be relocated as part
of any policies/proposals, shelter upgrades
would be welcome, but the relocation costs
must be borne by the developer.
Supports the view of the Panel Report that BH
should be designated as a strategic centre on
the basis that the preconditions are met. The
HA would like to see the transport evidence
underpinning the AAP to assess potential
impacts of future development on the SRN and
to identify appropriate transport interventions
designed to promote sustainable transport
links to BH. Rail and other public transport
links to BH should be improved.
Further large-scale office development could
encourage additional commuting by car from
the south and therefore the transport impacts
of such developments should be thoroughly
tested.
The spatial development pattern should be
wholly sustainable and this should be the most
important issue in the AAP over-arching the
others. The proposals to designate BH as a
centre of regional importance are supported
providing that BH displays all the
characteristics of a true town centre and that it
should retain elements of natural and built
heritage. Public safety and security should be
developed as an integral part of the policies.
The basis for the AAP should be the Panel
Report from the EiP. The following issues

The AAP should address sport and recreation
issues, both in respect of the protection and
enhancement of existing provision and
facilities and opportunities for new provision,
which should be based on a comprehensive
assessment of need.
The Baseline Report should consider the
‘Active People’ survey which assessed the
levels of participation people have in sports
and recreation. (To access Dudley’s results,

Other Consultees
Drivers Jonas Recognise the merits of a proactive and
forward thinking approach to the promotion
of opportunities at BH, but the growth should
be carefully managed to ensure that
proposals are sustainable, well integrated
and compliment the JCS. Regarding the key
issues:
• Significant changes are necessary at BH
to allow inter-connectivity and linkages to
be created
• BH is currently unsustainable in terms of
accessibility and public transport. The
dominance of car-based travel into and
around Merry Hill / Brierley Hill does not
meet the requirement in PPS6 which
promotes retail development in town
centres. The Panel Report recognizes the
importance of achieving significant
improvements to the level, quality, and
frequency of public transport accessibility
to BH as part of the AAP preparation.
• It is necessary for the AAP to provide
clear guidance on the controls and
phasing for any additional comparison
goods floorspace to be brought forward at
BH. Clearly there needs to be a change
at Merry Hill from the existing out-ofcentre facility. Monitoring of the
comparison retail brought forward at
Merry Hill is also necessary. Any

• The AAP should be clear about the
sequence of planning stages required in
advance of the consideration of any
future planning applications for the
expansion of Merry Hill and the AAP
should be adopted along with the JCS
before this happens.

The AAP will also naturally address the
physical challenges of improving the

that is fully commensurate with a strategic
town centre.
Requested a plan and description of what the
AAP will cover.
Local Residents
Local people don’t understand the planning
system and only feel that something is being
done when it is happening on the ground.
The local traders on the High Street should
remain and not be threatened by Westfield –
the lower cost shops are there for a reason.
Lack of parking and the numerous
takeaways on the High Street concern the
locals. Canal frontage enhancement should
be a priority, and more cycle and walkways
should be created. Separate bus lanes
should be a consideration. Green open
spaces should be better utilized and ‘opened
up’ and open air cafes are a good idea along
with simple children’s playgrounds. There
should be a strong sense of security in the
town and designing out crime should be a
priority. Trees and green landscaping could
be used to break up the concrete
Mr Downing agreed that the vision was
correct although he expressed reservations
until further details about areas and types of
development are put into the public domain.
The vision should include consideration for
the elderly, young people and vulnerable
members of the public who live in Brierley
Hill. The objective regarding ‘social inclusion’
should include consideration of the elderly
and disabled, and amongst other things,
there should be regard given to: Possibly
having a replacement swimming pool;
provision of a central multi-purpose
Christian/multi-faith centre run by volunteers
from local churches – a meeting place for the
lonely and vulnerable; a youth centre facility
for the young; and to provide green outdoor
spaces for recreation of all ages

classes in the area. Regarding the markets,
could an option include protecting the
existing market and providing new open
space, which could be used for another
market area? The current function and
location of the bus station needs
consideration and walking should be
regarded as a separate subject. Could
consideration be given regarding a multistorey car park be given in this document?
Regarding office development, could an

classes will be
depicted on a block

markets issue will
be considered
particularly in
respect of Brierley
Place. A Public
Transport Strategy
will be prepared. A
study will be
commissioned
regarding a multideck car park.
In relation to the number of homes to be
provided in the BH area, it should be clear
that homes are needed for increasing
numbers of households. In BH the private
rented stock is low and of poor quality, and
therefore people on low incomes have few
housing options.
Housing demand is high and the issue of low
demand should not be over-stated. The
consequences of demolition can sometimes
result in people being unable to relocate or
becoming homeless.
It is essential to avoid jargon and have
issues and options in clear English so that
everyone can read it. Also important to avoid
ambiguity in the options and issues. Biomass
production within the Dudley Borough is
limited due to lack of agricultural land and
woodland which leads to importing it and
hence defeats the purpose of nature
conservation. Ecological footprint Analysis
could be considered. In relation to flooding, if
SUDs and grey water recycling were made a
compliance of all new development, new
hard surfacing and buildings may not
necessarily increase surface run-off.
Regarding contamination, there are also a
number of landfill sites within the boundary.
The design of the BH town centre should
include using new development to improve
connectivity, develop vistas and views, and
create good pedestrian movement. With new
development, the coarse urban grain can be
changed over time to a finer grain. Surface
car parks could be located underground to

free up land for other development. A market
assessment is required to determine
demographic profile projections and house
typologies. The vision should include
reference to pedestrian priority streets and a
‘walkable neighbourhood network’.
Implementation of urban design principles in
BH will be difficult due to the current highway
design practices
Quarry Bank High street should be included
in the boundary of the BHAAP because if
Metro does not happen, Quarry Bank High
Street may become a rapid pubic transport
corridor to serve Merry Hill; Quarry Bank is
closer to Merry Hill than Brierley Hill High
Street and the traders have suffered the
same effects from Merry Hill but have not
benefited from the regeneration initiatives led
by BHRP; Quarry Bank is a priority local
centre for regeneration and a Regeneration
Plan for the local centre although the High
Street will still struggle to compete as the
Regeneration Plan is simply a guidance
document; and if Quarry Bank High Street is
not included in the AAP boundary the
potential for improving the public transport
corridor from Cradley Heath Station to Merry
Hill may well be overlooked.
Susan McGavin, Head of Local
Neighbourhoods within Dudley MBC
responded stating that as a neighbourhood
management team they have the
responsibility for an overview of activities
designed to address the long term
deprivation of the area and the engagement
of the community in these areas. Susan
pointed out that as many of the strategies
and activities that the BHCF are
implementing have originated through joint
working with the neighbourhood manager the
BHCF has undoubtedly made the
engagement case quite strongly. Susan also
made it clear that the AAP for Brierley Hill
should be consistent with the neighbourhood
management plan for the wider area.

Database on 28th June 2007
Dear Sir/Madam,
Public Consultation on the Joint Core Strategy for the Black Country Issues
and Options, Brierley Hill Area Action Plan Issues and Options and Draft
Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document
Since November 2006, the four Black Country Local Authorities (Dudley, Sandwell,
Walsall and Wolverhampton) have been working with the community and
organisations around the Black Country to identify the key issues facing us over the
next 20 years and some options for addressing those issues. This will inform the
preparation of the Joint Core Strategy for the Black Country which will set out how
the area will develop up to 2026.
We’ve produced an Issues and Options document based on what people have told
us so far and we’d like to hear your views on those issues and options by 10th
August 2007. The document, response form and details of consultation events being
undertaken during the consultation period are available on the website at:
http://blackcountrycorestrategy.dudley.gov.uk/

Dudley MBC has also been working on an Area Action Plan for Brierley Hill which will
set out how the centre will develop over at least the next 15 years. It will guide future
decisions on where and what type of developments happen and we would like to
hear your views on where you think new shops, offices, homes, streets, public
transport links, public and green spaces and leisure and community facilities should
be located.
Dudley MBC is also seeking your views on a Draft Planning Obligations
Supplementary Planning Document. This document sets out the Council’s proposed
approach to planning obligations when considering planning applications for
development in Dudley.

The deadline for submitting your comments on the Brierley Hill Area Action Plan
Issues and Options is 10th August 2007 and the Draft Planning Obligations
Supplementary Planning Document is open to consultation from 6th July to 17th
August 2007. Both of these documents will be available to view on the Council’s

Press Release on 19th June 2007
Borough residents will get the chance to put their views forward on three
options prepared for the regeneration of Brierley Hill over the next 15 years.
Dudley Council has prepared an Issues and Options report for the Brierley Hill area
and officers are now seeking the publics’ view on this. The document is the first in a
series of steps to preparing the Brierley Hill Area Action Plan which will guide the
regeneration of Brierley Hill, including Merry Hill and the Waterfront over the next 15
years.
The report contains a vision for the future of Brierley Hill, a number of challenges and
objectives and three potential options to achieve the vision. It has been prepared
from responses received from working with community stakeholders and also from
the previous work undertaken for the area.
Councillor Malcolm Knowles, cabinet member for regeneration, said:
“We want as many people as possible to take the opportunity to have their say on the
future of this part of the borough. The issues and options report will give clear
direction on how things can progress and we want to hear which ones people prefer.”
As well as hearing local people’s preferences, the council also want their comments
on the vision, objectives, challenges and other important issues identified within the
report. The document will be out for consultation from June 29 to August 10.
Following this, council officers will consider all the comments received to put together
a ‘preferred option’. For more detail on the timetable, please refer to the council’s
local development scheme at http://www.dudley.gov.uk/environment-planning/planning/local-development-framework/local-development-scheme
People can also have their say on the document at a number of borough events.
Council officers will be present at the ‘Community Fun Day’ at the Dell Stadium on
June 30, the ‘Dudley Performing Arts Festival’ on July 7, the blood donation event at
Brierley Hill Civic Hall on July 17 and there will be an outreach day on Brierley Hill
High Street on July 20 where council officers will be available to talk to local people.
The report can be viewed and downloaded at http://www.dudley.gov.uk/environment-planning/planning/local-development-framework/bhill-aap. People can reply to the
consultation electronically by email at [email protected] or a response form is
available to download.
Comments can also be given via phone, fax or in writing, to Rachel Gandolfi,
Planning Policy Section, DUE, 3 St. James’s Road, Dudley, West Midlands, DY1
1HZ or call 01384 816964, fax 01384 814141 or email

the Results of those Exercises
Page 57
The first poster gave some general information asking people to give their comments
on Brierley Hill and providing contact information. The second poster set out the 3
spatial options in very general terms and asked people to place a sticky dot on the
spatial option which they considered to be the most appropriate to guide
development. The three spatial options were:
•
•
•
Option 1: Grow the town centre upwards - offices and some 2000 new homes
(mostly apartments) within a compact town centre. Leisure, community and other
supporting town centre uses would also be provided but less than under options 2
and 3.
Option 2: Balanced growth - fewer offices would be developed in the central
area than under Option 1 so further sites, available for redevelopment for offices
might need to be found and the town centre expanded to accommodate them.
Apartments with some town houses could be provided and more leisure,
community and supporting town centre uses than under Option 1.
Option 3: Grow the town centre outwards - Comparitely little office
development would be provided in the central area so the town centre would need
to expand to include land that could be developed for offices or mixed-use
development. A greater mix of apartments, town houses and community, leisure
and supporting town centre uses could be available within the core of Brierley Hill
than under Options 1 and 2.
The third poster set out the 3 spatial options in relation to where new shops should
go. The three options were;
•
•
•
Option 1: Some new shops at the High Street as well as at Merry Hill
Option 2: Smaller shops joining up Merry Hill with the High Street
Option 3: A new large Anchor Store at Merry Hill
The poster also asked where a new foodstore should go if it were found that Brierley
Hill required a new foodstore;
•
•
•
Option 1: On the High Street
Option 2: Near the canal between Merry Hill and the High Street
Option 3: At Merry Hill
The final display panel was a map of Brierley Hill depicting the proposed boundary.
Consultees were asked to place post-it notes on the panel to show what they felt was
needed in the area, for instance if they felt that new facilities were needed or if
something should be taken away.
Approximately 105 people took part in the consultation events. The figure is
approximate as not all respondants completed all the exercises.
The results of the sticky dots exercises are shown in the table overleaf:

CPO powers if necessary to overcome
land ownership issues is likely to be
important in a practical sense to the
rational and timely progression of
development. BHRP say not to phase
development. The market is best placed
to manage land release where there is a
clear growth agenda. The only controls
necessary are to ensure that delivery of
the comprehensive framework for
development is not compromised by
individual proposals. Dan Shaw says
development should be phased to
minimise disruption to the centre
infrastructure requirements within Brierley
Hill to be funded by S106 and use policy
to seek the funding of these alongside the
contributions already requested within the
Planning Obligations Supplementary
Planning Document. Over the longer term
and dependant on future national policy
directions this list of infrastructure could
be developed into a Community
Infrastructure Levy.
The scale and phasing of comparison
retail at Brierley Hill has been established
through the first phase review of the RSS.
The phasing of other land uses will be
considered as part of the Implementation
Framework but will not be subject to policy
controls that would prevent an otherwise
acceptable development coming forward
earlier in the plan period than expected.
The plan must be flexible to cope with
changing circumstances and the market.

Feedback Report to Consultation Responses
Received in Relation to including Quarry Bank High
Street within the Brierley Hill Town Centre boundary
during Frontloading and Issues and Options
Consultation
Background
The Merry Hill issue has been the subject of regional debate over a 20 year period.
The designation of Brierley Hill as a strategic town centre has been an ongoing issue
for the last decade with negative implications for the regeneration of the Borough. It
culminated with the ‘West Midlands RSS Draft Phase One Revision: Black Country’
Examination-in-Public. This was followed up by a very positive Panel Report and
Brierley Hill’s strategic centre status was confirmed in January 2008 when Phase 1
was incorporated into the West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy.
The characteristics of the town centre have been explored, along with capacity for
future development in terms of residential, commercial and retail space. David Lock
Associates produced the Brierley Hill Implementation Strategy in 2006, and this
document examined the initial boundary option which comprised of the Merry Hill
shopping centre, the Waterfront and Brierley Hill High Street. In preparing the
Brierley Hill Area Action Plan the issue of any alternative boundaries had to be
explored and be subject to consultation.
Planning Policy Context
Planning Policy Statement 6 (PPS6): Town Centres (2005), states that local
authorities should adopt a positive and proactive approach to planning for the future
of all centres within their boundary. This includes different types of centres, ranging
from city/town centres to local centres, the latter being the designation for Quarry
Bank. The fundamental objective of PPS6 is to promote the ‘vitality and viability’ of
town centres by ‘planning for the growth and development of existing centres and
promoting and enhancing existing centres, by focusing development in such centres
and encouraging a wide range of services in a good environment, accessible for all’.
Where growth cannot be accommodated in identified existing centres, Local Planning
Authorities should plan for the extension of the primary shopping area or, where
appropriate, plan for the extension of the town centre to accommodate other main
town centre uses.
PPS12: ‘Local Development Frameworks’ (2004) states that Area Action Plans
should be produced for areas where ‘significant change or conservation is needed’.
Local centres are generally inappropriate locations for large scale new development
and PPS6 states that local centres ‘provide easily accessible provision to meet
people’s day-today requirements, and should be the focus for investment in more
Page 76
accessible local services such as health centres and small scale community
facilities’.
Since undertaking public consultation on the ‘Brierley Hill Area Action Plan Issues
and Options Report’ the second phase revision of the Regional Spatial Strategy has
progressed considerably. The main implications of the draft preferred strategy of the
RSS Phase 2 Revision are:
•
•
The need to plan for significantly increased comparison retail figures from
51,000m2 to 2021 to 65,000m2 to 2021 and a further 30,000m2 between 2021
and 2026.
The need to plan for increased office floorspace within the strategic town
centre from 186,000m2 2006-2021, to 220,000m2 2006-2026.
The Area Action Plan will therefore need to make provision for the 2006-2021
requirements and have regard to the 2021-2026 requirements. To accommodate
these increased requirements within the existing boundary of the strategic town
centre would require substantially increased densities. In the context of the public
consultation results and the capacity constraints within the existing boundary the
preferred option will be to extend the town centre.
A commitment to local centres long-term enhancement in service provision is
reiterated at a local level in the Dudley Unitary Development Plan, which was
adopted in October 2005, with policies seeking to ensure that such centres remain
areas where a range of retail, community and leisure uses are concentrated. District
and local centres are reviewed on an annual basis in terms of land use and vacancy
rates to monitor any significant changes in occupancy and whether the policies in the
UDP are sustaining and enhancing these centres vitality and viability. Evidence
shows that vacancy rates in Quarry Bank High Street are low (4.8%) when compared
with other centres.
Quarry Bank has been identified as a priority in terms of regeneration, the
development of Quarry Bank Local Centre Regeneration Plan has been delayed as a
result of consideration of the issues and options concerning the inclusion of the
centre within the Brierley Hill Area Action Plan (BHAAP) boundary.
The Brierley Hill Area Action Plan ‘Issues and Options’ report was out for consultation
in the summer of 2007 and the issue of any alternative boundaries was consulted
upon. The six alternatives consulted upon were:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Option 1: The Boundary should stay as previously defined;
Option 2: Inclusion of Harts Hill;
Option 3: Inclusion of Quarry Bank High Street;
Option 4: Inclusion of Delph Locks Conservation Area;
Option 5: Inclusion into the residential area at Brockmoor; and
Option 6: Includsion of the high-rise flats at Chapel Street/Derry Street.
After carrying out an ‘Issues and Options’ consultation event at Quarry Bank with
local residents and local councillors on the 2nd August 2007 and receiving 10
representations, there is both support and opposition for including Quarry Bank into
the strategic town centre boundary.
Page 77
Implications of including Quarry Bank with the town centre boundary
As it would be within the ‘strategic town centre’ it would be a target for future
development pressure such as the new retail development and use for other town
centre uses such as office, bars and restaurants. There would be significant
commercial pressure which would lead in time to a fundamental change in the
distinctive character of Quarry Bank. Its existing ‘local centre’ status would be
deleted and it would become a secondary shopping area within Brierley Hill Strategic
Town Centre which could push up rents. The introduction of a car parking
management regime including the use of parking charges, could have a very
negative impact on Quarry Bank custom and potentially damaging impact on its
viability.
As local opinion supports the view that there are no major development opportunities
within Quarry Bank, the relative lack of weight of the Regeneration Plan rather than
an Area Action Plan makes little difference. Many of the issues that need to be
addressed in Quarry Bank are much more suited to a Regeneration Plan than a
higher level strategic document such as the Area Action Plan. In terms of shop
frontages, an Area Action Plan could not directly impact on improving those
frontages. Monies to support regeneration could be available from conservation area
designation but again, this is not dependant on the area’s inclusion within the
strategic town centre.
In terms of designation within the Brierley Hill Town Centre, Brierley Hill High Street
has many advantages over Quarry Bank in terms of the development opportunities.
Indeed, the greatest areas of capacity and opportunity for change within the Town
Centre border Brierley Hill High Street in the Lower Brierley area. The strategic
importance of the High Street is also emphasised through the location of the Metro
terminus. The existing Brierley Hill High Street operates as a vibrant District Centre,
and Quarry Bank High Street is a distinctive and physically separate Local Centre.
Whilst the Area Action Plan Preferred Option Report does not propose that Brierley
Hill High Street should be significantly expanded in terms of its retail offer there are
recognised development opportunities which could be exploited.
Conclusions
The professional advice from the Planning & Development Service is to not include
Quarry Bank within the Brierley Hill Town Centre Boundary. In the context of national
policy, the main reasons for extending a town centre’s boundary would be to create
development opportunity sites, mainly because there is limited (or no) physical
capacity for new development in the existing town centre area. There are no
significant development opportunity sites within or adjacent Quarry Bank and it is our
view that this area should remain outside of the town centre and continue to function
as a local centre.
The issues arising in Quarry Bank High Street are much better addressed via a
Regeneration Plan which would achieve the local improvements which are required.
The Black Country Joint Core Strategy will include policies which promote and
protect local centres to complement the pattern of housing and employment in the
Black Country and meet people’s everyday needs.

Dear Sir/Madam
Public Consultation on the Preferred Options for the Joint Core Strategy for the
Black Country and Brierley Hill Area Action Plan - 17th March 2008 to 28th April
2008
The four Black Country Local Authorities of Dudley MBC, Sandwell MBC, Walsall
MBC and Wolverhampton City Council are producing a Core Strategy. This is a
‘spatial planning document’ which will guide the delivery of more than 60,000 new
homes across the Black Country between now and 2026, supported by new shops,
offices, leisure, transport and environmental improvements.
Based on what people have told us so far we have identified a preferred strategy for
addressing the key issues facing the Black Country. The Core Strategy will affect all
areas in the Black Country and at the heart of the strategy is a series of ‘regeneration
corridors’ where change will be focussed. We would now like to hear your views on
this strategy during the consultation period from 17th March 2008 to 28th April 2008.
Dudley Council is holding consultation events on the Core Strategy in each of the
Dudley Borough regeneration corridors (between 10am and 4pm) to which everyone
is invited. These will be drop in sessions where you will have to opportunity to talk to
a planning officer about the proposals. There’s no need to book, just turn up at any

Dudley MBC has also been working on an Area Action Plan for Brierley Hill which will
set out how the Strategic Town Centre will develop at least up to 2021. It will guide
future decisions on where and what type of developments happen and how Brierley
Hill High Street, the Waterfront and Merry Hill will be joined up to create one
integrated Town Centre. The plan proposes to prioritise retail development at Merry
Hill as the catalyst for the wider regeneration of the town centre. Provision is also
made for new retail development on the High Street together with supporting town
centre uses including homes, education, leisure and office uses. The strategy sets
out a plan for improved accessibility which includes new streets, public spaces and
public transport interchanges. These proposals consider the historic environment
and character of Brierley Hill and seek to maximise opportunities for new green
infrastructure including wildlife corridors.
Your views are being sought on the preferred strategy for Brierley Hill during the
consultation period from 17th March to 28th April 2008. Copies of the Brierley Hill
Area Action Plan Preferred Options, representation form and supporting documents
including the Sustainability Appraisal are available at libraries within Dudley Borough

Sustainability Appraisal which assesses the likely social, economic and
environmental effects of the options. Comments are also welcomed on these
documents.
A Conservation Area is proposed for Brierley Hill High Street and the Council has
produced a draft Conservation Area Character Appraisal for it. The principal effects
of Conservation Area designation are that it introduces planning controls over the
demolition of buildings within the area and imposes a statutory duty on the Council to
have special regard, when considering any proposals for change, to the desirability of
preserving or enhancing the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
We would like you to let us know how you feel about the Character Appraisal and
Management Proposals by completing a questionnaire and returning it to:

Press Release Advertising the Preferred Options
Consultation on 14th March 2008
Have your say on a multi-million pound masterplan for Brierley Hill
A massive multi-million pound investment masterplan for Brierley Hill looks set
to go out to the public to have their say.
People are being asked to help shape the future regeneration and investment in and
around the town centre.
Blueprints include new shops, homes, health and leisure complexes and offices as
part of plans to pump millions of pounds into the area.
There will also be improved accessibility through new streets and public transport
links to buses and the proposed extension to the Midland Metro.
Consultation on the preferred options will begin on March 17 and run until April 28.
Four consultation events will take place on March 27 at Brierley Hill Civic Hall, Bank
Street 10am to 4pm, March 29 at Signpost, Brierley Hill High Street 1 to 4pm, April 2
at Brierley Hill community forum meeting, Bank Street Methodist Church 3 to 6pm
and April 21 and 22 at Brierley Hill library 10am to 4pm.
Councillor Malcolm Knowles, cabinet member for economic regeneration, said:
“These are exciting proposals we are drawing up, which will revolutionise shopping,
working and socialising in Brierley Hill.
“I would encourage people to visit one of the consultation events to find out more and
take part in what shaping a very exciting future for the town.”
The proposals will link Brierley Hill High Street with Merry Hill and the Waterfront, to
become one centre.
The plans will tie into the Regional Spatial Strategy (the planning framework for the
West Midlands region) and will see Brierley Hill become the strategic centre for
Dudley. Dudley will maintain its heritage focus with Castle Hill, the museum and
Wren’s Nest.
The final draft of the scheme will be sent to the Secretary of State for examination,
and, it is hoped, will be adopted next year (2009).

Consultation sent to Landowners and Business
Operators in Harts Hill on 1st August 2008
Dear Sir/Madam,
Your Views are Sought on Planning for the Future of Harts Hill
You may remember being contacted earlier this year about a public consultation that
Dudley MBC was undertaking on the ‘Brierley Hill Area Action Plan’. This document
is being prepared to guide the future development of Brierley Hill Town Centre,
including Harts Hill.
The consultation document, the ‘Brierley Hill Area Action Plan Preferred Options’
suggested that Harts Hill could be regenerated and redeveloped for a mix of housing,
office and education uses over the long term to 2026.
Harts Hill is proposed for change following earlier work and consultation undertaken
by Dudley MBC in 2007. That consultation noted that the scale of new development
proposed for Brierley Hill Town Centre could only be accommodated in the core of
the area by intensive building, or alternatively the Town Centre itself could be
expanded. The responses received from the public and stakeholders expressed a
preference for the Town Centre to expand outwards into neighbouring areas that
could benefit from regeneration. Harts Hill, an area that has previously been
recognised as being in need of regeneration, was identified as having the capacity
and opportunity to accommodate that new development. The latest consultation,
which ran for 6 weeks between March and April 2008, therefore proposed that Harts
Hill became part of Brierley Hill Town Centre and over the long term could be
redeveloped for uses that would support the Town Centre.
A limited number of responses have been received from landowners and interested
parties in the Harts Hill area to the Preferred Options consultation. Those
representations have been extremely useful but are not currently sufficient to build a
complete picture of the aspirations of businesses and landowners across the whole
area. Dudley MBC wants to understand what you consider the future of your land to
be so that informed decisions can be made on the future of the area. At this stage,
the responses we have received so far indicate that there may be areas and units
within Harts Hill which will become available for redevelopment over the long-term,
but equally that there may be pockets of thriving industry that wish to remain. One
option we will wish to explore further is whether some areas within Harts Hill could
continue to be protected for industrial use whilst others are reallocated for housing,
office and other uses.
You are being sent this letter because you have been identified as a landowner or
business operator in Harts Hill who has not yet replied to the consultation. It is
important, for your future and for the overall future of Brierley Hill Town Centre and
Dudley Borough, that you communicate to Dudley MBC what you think about these
plans. In particular, we would like you to tell us whether you think your land will be
Page 91
required to stay in its current use until 2026 or whether there could be potential for
redevelopment in either the short or long term. Any other information you may have
related to the potential for redevelopment on either your land or in the wider area
would be very gratefully received, for example, on land contamination or your
business constraints in terms of noise or relocation.
Please note that these plans are still at draft preparation stage and the implications of
any decisions on local businesses will be considered and further dialogue
established as decisions are taken and the plans progressed. The Brierley Hill Area
Action Plan will be a long term plan and it is not currently envisaged that there would
be any significant change at Harts Hill in the short term. Indeed, the latest ‘preferred
options’ consultation document envisages that change would mostly happen in the
long term post 2021.
The Preferred Options document can be accessed on Dudley MBC’s website at:
http://www.dudley.gov.uk/environment--planning/planning/local-developmentframework/bhill-aap. Alternatively, the document can be viewed at the planning
offices at 3 St James’s Road, Dudley. If you would like further information, please
note that the Brierley Hill Area Action Plan Preferred Options is supplemented by a
draft ‘Baseline Report’ which gives further details about the evidence that has been
used to prepare the strategy, and a Sustainability Appraisal which assesses the likely
social, economic and environmental effects of the options. These documents can be
viewed on the website on the link above and comments are also welcomed on these
documents.
Your comments would be welcomed in writing to the address or email above by 15th
August 2008. If you would like an informal chat over the phone or in person, please
do not hesitate to contact me or my colleagues Tim Brown (01384 817213) or Rachel
Gandolfi (01384 816964). Dudley MBC planning officers will aim to hold a public
meeting in early September to feed back the results of those consultation responses
and discuss the implications on the plans for the Harts Hill area.
Yours sincerely,
Nicki Thomas

From: Phoenix Calibration & Services Ltd [[email protected]]
Sent: 26 September 2008 12:55
To: Nicki Thomas; Rachel Gandolfi
Subject: Harts Hill
Dear Nicki,
Thank you for your time today, I do appreciate that you have had a lot of extra work going through this
process, and that you have tried to take everyone’s feelings and interests into account.
I have had a second look through the proposals and we agree with you that option 2 seems to be the
best proposal for us and the estate in general. This seems to offer us (especially small land owners)
protection as an industrial area for the time being, but does not eliminate the ultimate longer term
options if the whole area naturally changes use and developers want to put in planning applications
with our agreement for change of use. I also appreciate that there is more than likely going to be
another re-assessment of the overall situation once the first phase of the Brierley Hill, Merry Hill and
Waterfront work has been completed, by that time the bigger picture may well have changed for
everybody. That would be the time when decisions more specifically relevant to us would ultimately be
made.
I do not think that some people present at the meeting fully understand the situation, or what your role
is in the overall scheme, as there could well be some individual sales of land for development at any
time but these are privately arranged sales between land owners and development companies, nor is
it the councils job to relocate businesses if they agree to a private sale, but that is back to one of my
original comments about the way the planning system works and the level of understanding required
to make any comment or objection to the proposals...
I think the key question of time scales has at least now been answered for everybody, and I for one
feel happier that we can go ahead and develop our building if the business requires it in the short term
future. Thank you.
If you feel I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to let me know.

Consultation sent to Statutory Consultees, Key
Stakeholders and Other Appropriate General
Consultees on 13th March 2009
Dear Sir/Madam,
Brierley Hill Area Action Plan Policy Development Update
Consultation: 13th March 2009 to 10th April 2009
Dudley MBC has been working on an Area Action Plan for Brierley Hill which will set out
how the Strategic Town Centre will develop up to 2026. In March and April 2008, Dudley
MBC undertook public consultation on the Preferred Options for the Brierley Hill Area
Action Plan. This document contained a vision for the future of Brierley Hill, a number of
challenges and objectives and the favoured strategy to achieve the vision, together with
further, more-detailed options and questions where appropriate. The report was put
together drawing on responses to the extensive consultation which had already been
undertaken at the ‘frontloading’ and ‘Issues and Options’ stages, and also from the
magnitude of previous work undertaken for the Brierley Hill area.
All the responses and representations received have now been considered and this has
led the Council to believe that some changes are needed to the strategy. A ‘Brierley Hill
Area Action Plan Policy Development Update’ has been prepared to summarise the main
proposed changes to the AAP and new designations in order for you to consider them
before the plan is finalised and published in November 2009 and then submitted to the
Secretary of State for independent examination in February 2010.
Most significantly, the Policy Development Update includes further detail on the proposed
Implementation Framework. It is imperative that the strategy for Brierley Hill is realistic
and deliverable and therefore support and feedback is actively sought on this element of
the consultation. In particular, if you are a delivery agency or landowner or are likely to
have any other involvement in implementing this strategy then it is important that we hear
your views.
Your comments are being sought on the Policy Development Update for Brierley Hill
during the consultation period from 13th March to 10th April 2009. Copies of the
documents including the Sustainability Appraisal are available to view at libraries within
Dudley Borough, the Council offices at 3 St. James's Road, Dudley and online at:

wherever possible. You can respond to this consultation and request copies of the

Plan Policy Development Update is supplemented by a draft ‘Baseline Report’ which
gives further details about the evidence that has been used to prepare the strategy,
and a Sustainability Appraisal which assesses the likely social, economic and
environmental effects of the options. Comments are also welcomed on these
documents.
If you do make comments on Brierley Hill Area Action Plan, please let us know if you
want to be notified when the documents are adopted and include your details so we
can contact you.
