A council has been swamped with new housing proposals
from opportunistic developers. About 9,000 sites have been put forward for
development in South Staffordshire – with a large swathe bordering the Black
Country. But Brian Edwards MBE, leader of South Staffordshire District Council,

process. It comes after the local authority identified a shortfall of 8,845
homes needed within the district by 2037. Read more on the Express & Star
