COUNCILLORS in Bromsgrove will meet tonight (Monday, September 23) to discuss the town’s increase in house building targets after Lib Dem councillors called for an extraordinary meeting last month.
The town’s housing target could increase by 82 per cent following Labour’s proposed planning reforms prompting Bromsgrove District Council to call a meeting to work on a response to the policy’s consultation.
Labour’s proposals could mean over 700 new homes will be built annually in the town by Bromsgrove District Council (BDC), which poses risks to the town’s 89 per cent green belt land.
Lib Dem councillor and group leader Rob Hunter called for an extraordinary meeting which will take place at the council’s Parkside at 6pm tonight (Monday, September 23).
Members of the public are invited to attend or watch the meeting live online.
