In addition to providing much-needed new homes, the proposals for Streetly would also provide a range of community facilities. The outline vision for the site includes the provision of a site for a potential new healthcare building or community centre, the final use of which will be determined by consultation with a range of statutory consultees including the local NHS.
Community allotments are proposed within the extensive public open space, along with associated parking facilities.
Around 47% of the overall site area will be provided as high-quality landscaped open space providing a range of outdoor recreational facilities, including play areas and extensive public parkland.

Investing in wider community infrastructure
A key consideration with a planning proposal such as this is to ensure that local services receive the investment they need to serve the additional demand arising from the development.
In addition to the new community facilities that will be provided within the proposed development, significant investment into local infrastructure such as healthcare and education will be generated.
Specific details about any financial contributions will be informed by consultation carried out by Walsall Council with statutory bodies such as the local NHS Integrated Care Board and the Local Education Authority on their requirements.
All financial contributions will be agreed and secured via a legally-binding agreement (called a Section 106 agreement) between Taylor Wimpey and the council.

The development will generate significant funding for key infrastructure such as healthcare and education, to be determined in consultation with the relevant statutory consultees.
