Goal 3 - The natural environment is at the heart of planning, policy & decision-making
The population of Birmingham and the Black Country exceeds 2 million people and is expected to rise dramatically. Birmingham’s population is forecast to grow at a rate of 12% until 2032, resulting in an increase of more than 150,000 people. To account for this, Birmingham City Council is planning to build in excess of 50,000 new homes. The Black Country expects a population growth of over 60,00 in the same period with a need for at least 40,000 new homes. The acute need for new houses and infrastructure brings increased pressure on nature and wildlife
