Sandwell will fall far short of housing targets, council warns

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Oct, 08:31 · Archive

Sandwell cannot build enough homes to meet local targets even if all available land is developed.

Sandwell council faces a severe land shortage that makes it impossible to meet housing targets. With only space for 11,900 homes available, the borough falls short of its need for 26,000 homes. Even if every piece of available land in the borough were built on, more than half the required homes could not be constructed.
