RSS 11 for the West Midlands is being partially reviewed in three stages.

A Draft Project Plan for Phase 3 (dealing with rural and environmental issues) has been consulted on by the Regional Assembly. More details can be found on their website.

The Assembly has now set up working groups to pursue the work and will soon be consulting local authorities. However, because of delays to Phase 2, public consultation on options for Phase 3 is unlikely to happen until the middle of next year.

CPRE is particularly concerned to ensure that the review deals with important issues to us. These include tranquillity and landscape.

We will also be using our Green Belt report to inform the key debate on the future of this invaluable planning tool. We are keen that discussion of Green Belt covers both improving the quality of green belt and the strategic value of Green Belts.
