Future planning policy
Black Country plan (BCP)
Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and City of Wolverhampton councils are no longer proceeding with the Black Country plan. We have issued a joint statement.

We will consider how to make continued use of the work carried out to date on the Black Country plan. You can find evidence and consultation details on the Black Country plan website.
Consultations
We consulted about the BCP in July to September 2022 and August 2021. These consultations are now closed.
Draft Black Country plan 2039 (regulation 18) additional Walsall-only consultation
The consultation ran from Monday 11 July 2022 until 5.00pm on Monday 5 September 2022 on the draft Black Country plan and sustainability appraisal.
This additional consultation followed the draft plan consultation, which ended October 2021. Following a review of the representations three more potentially suitable housing sites were identified in Walsall. This required consideration and followed the same consultation process as the other sites we consulted on last year.
