West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy

The West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) is part of the statutory development plan and provides the framework for all the local development documents prepared by the Council. The RSS provides guidance on how much and what type of development should occur within the District and the Council's Local Development Framework must be consistent with the strategic policies set out in the RSS.

The current RSS was issued by the Secretary of State in June 2004. It can be viewed on the Regional Assembly's website.

RSS Revision

The RSS is currently being reviewed in a series of phases:

Phase 1 relates specifically to the Black Country and has been approved.

Phase 2 deals with future development across the whole region, for example the amount of housing and employment development that should take place in each part of the region, including Stratford District, up to 2021 and beyond. It also includes policies on sustainable communities, climate change, city and town centres, transport and waste management.

Phase 3 covers a wide range of matters, including rural services, recreation provision, various environmental issues and meeting the needs of gypsies and travellers.

Public consultation on Phase 3 Revision was held from Monday 29 June to Friday 14 August 2009. For further information and to view the documents - click here.
