As a national pioneer in brownfield regeneration, the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) commissioned an independent study in 2021 to look at development opportunities in the emerging Black Country Plan.
The Black Country Assessment of the Potential for Additional Brownfield Land Development Capacity Study, by town planning specialists Chilmark Consulting Ltd, was carried out to support the Local Plan as it moves towards a final submission.
Once finalised, the Black Country Plan will decide where new housing and employment development will be located in the Black Country up to 2039.
