Development Parameters• Development opportunities in the area have moderateto higher risks associated with contamination /geotechnical issues.• Three Tuns Centre acts as a local focus point alongthe Stafford Road• No areas of flood risk although there area site specificrecommendations in the SFRA which need to beconsidered.Strategic Options Considered –• Usam Trading Estate and Wood Lane considered forhousing development. It had the potential to deliverapproximately 100 homes, however the evidenceindicated it was more appropriate to retain the areafor employment uses despite it offering the potentialfor a more comprehensive development approach.The plan could still adopt a flexible approach to this ifconsidered appropriate.• Some housing development was considered on BeeLane Playing Fields open space, although this wasdiscounted for a number of reasons (see policyArea 4).Sustainability AppraisalWhilst the proposals for this area will increase housingoffer, a number of existing businesses will need to berelocated to deliver housing at the proposed locations.This has the potential to have impacts on localemployment and economic activity, although the AAPidentifies a number of employment opportunities to meetrelocation demands of businesses.No nature conservation designations exist in theCharacter Area, and the area is not deemed by theBlack Country SFRA as being within an area at risk offlooding. Whilst there are no nationally listed buildings orconservation areas within the area, the HLC assessmentsuggests that there are a number of locally importantbuildings and areas of some historic interest andbuildings important for local distinctiveness. In thiscontext the integrity of these assets will be supported bythe proposals’ aim to protect and enhance the setting ofbuildings of historic environment value and/or of valuefor local distinctiveness.Bee Lane Playing Fields is an important environmentalinfrastructure asset for the AAP area, providing playingpitches, open space and community facilities. Thedevelopment of this site for housing would thereforepotentially lead to the loss of important environmentalinfrastructure in the Character Area, with implications fora range of aspects, including health and wellbeing,townscape quality, climate change adaptation,biodiversity enhancement opportunities and the qualityof local neighbourhoods.Area DesignationsUsam Trading Estate and Wood Lane is to beprotected for employment uses, mainly to providelocal employment opportunities.
