Plans for a new state-of-the-art special school are “moving in the right direction” after being given the green light.

Council bosses continue to progress plans for a state-of-the-art special school in Dudley borough.

Proposals to change the way in which funds from developers are allocated could unlock a funding pot of more than £130,000 for community projects across the borough.

The leader of Dudley Council has written to the government seeking assurances that borough residents will continue to be at forefront of local planning policy and green open spaces will be protected amid proposed changes to the national system.

Up to £60,000 is to be spent on improvements to an area of Halesowen from a cash pot funded by developers building in the borough.

Dudley Council’s cabinet will review a timetable for future regeneration plans for Dudley borough when it meets later this month.

Changes are being made to cut through red tape and make it easier to unlock cash to be spent on community projects.

Dudley Council continues to be one of the best authorities in the country for dealing with planning applications quickly and efficiently, new figures have revealed.
