• National Planning Policy Framework
• Planning Policy for Traveller Sites

It is intended to develop the role of West Bromwich as a Strategic Centre for growth within the region and subregion.

It is envisaged that over the next 10-15 years, the centre will experience significant growth and investment. A number of major proposals are already planned which will bring forward significant change in the town centre.

The West Bromwich Area Action Plan (AAP) will assist in taking these forward to delivery as well as identifying new opportunities for continued growth in the wider area. In doing so there will be a review of the existing strategy and policy that currently applies to the town, including the strategies and activities of the Council's partners that will facilitate delivery within the statutory planning system.
