Planning for future housing in Kingswinford and across South Staffordshire remains a significant challenge, particularly when it comes to safeguarding Green Belt land. With proposed changes to the local planning system on the horizon—driven by the move towards a single unitary authority, it is more important than ever for local communities to have a strong voice in shaping development decisions.
In this context, it is encouraging to see Bilbrook Parish Council taking proactive steps to begin work on a new Neighbourhood Plan, ensuring residents have a meaningful opportunity to influence how their area evolves.
Residents are encouraged to take part before the consultation closes on 27th May 2026. This is an important opportunity to review the draft plan and share feedback before it proceeds to the next stage of examination.
