If consulted, told to develop town (6,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sutton coldfield

'town' is the definition.
(Sutton Coldfield matches up with the definition town)

'if consulted told to develop' is the wordplay.
'to develop' indicates an anagram.
'if'+'consulted'+'told'='ifconsultedtold'
'ifconsultedtold' anagrammed gives 'SUTTON COLDFIELD'.

(Another definition for sutton coldfield that I've seen is " somewhere in the Midlands".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
