Comments on supporting evidence base (Economic Development Needs Assessment- EDNA) to the policies submitted.
Overall, NDL consider that there is a much larger shortfall in quantitative terms, between need and supply. In addition, there is a clear qualitative shortage of large strategic employment sites, which the EDNA makes no reference to.
The EDNA has adopted an overly conservative approach. This approach does not accord with the aspirations and ambitions of the Black Country’s Strategic Economic Plan.
The release of significantly greater levels of employment land in the Black Country and its neighbouring authorities, particularly large strategic employment sites, will provide the Black Country with a range and choice of sites. This would confer an important and necessary competitive advantage in attracting inward investment.
