Land at New Hawne Colliery
New Hawne Colliery, Hayseech Road, Halesowen
B63 3PD
8.8
N/A
The site is the former New Hawne Colliery, which ceased production in 1921 although it is understood that the spoil heaps were worked in the 1970's.
Assuming a density of 35 dwellings per hectare (as outlined in Policy HOU2 of the Black Country Core Strategy) the site could accommodate an indicative 308 dwelling; this figure is not inclusive of green infrastructure and open space requirements. Densities would also have to be sensitive to historic character and local distinctiveness as outlined in Policy ENV2 of the Black Country Core Strategy.
Right of Way (public or otherwise): - Public Rights of Way (PRoW) Ref: HLS0115 relates to a footpath which is located to the northern boundary of the site and running adjacent to the River Stour. Contamination known or suspected: - The site is made up of colliery spoil - contaminated land would need to be investigated. Previous mining activity known or suspected: - The land was previously used as a colliery. Flood Risk/Drainage Problems: - The northern most part of the site, adjacent to the River Stour, is located within Flood Zone 3 and would require a Flood Risk Assessment. Watercourse/culvert/other water body: -The River Stour forms the northern boundary of the site. Area of mature woodland/tree preservation order: - Group Tree Preservation Area. - Heavily 'Greened' over - forming part of a 'Green Corridor' within a heavily urbanised area safeguarded by Policies S19 and S21 of the Dudley Borough Development Strategy. Protected species/habitats: - The site is located within a Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation (SLINC) to the immediate east, west and north. - River Stour also designated as a SLINC. (Revised Ecological Survey 2012 - confirming these designations). - Heavily 'Greened' over - forming part of a 'Green Corridor' within a heavily urbanised area safeguarded by S19 and S21 of the Dudley Borough Development Strategy. Historic building/landscapes: - Site falls within the Stour Valley Area of High Historic Landscape Value (Policy S13 - Dudley Borough Development Strategy) - Within 2 Archaeological Priority Areas: New Hawne Complex: HER 12976 New Hawne Colliery Tramway: HER 7380 3 nationally Statutory Listed Buildings: Fan House and Chimney at the Former New Hawne Colliery (HER 858) Grade II*, List Entry Number: 1063766, Date First Listed: 8 Oct 1975 Winding Engine House at the Former New Hawne Colliery (HER 857) Grade II, List Entry Number: 1063765, Date First Listed: 8 Oct 1975 Office, Workshop and Stores Block at the Former New Hawne Colliery (HER 859) Grade II, List Entry Number: 1359614, Date First Listed: 8 Oct 1975

The site is not currently in use. Some non-listed buildings on site would require demolition.
- Improved access on to the site and routes through the site would be required. - The Northern boundary of the site is located within Flood Zone 3, meaning there is a high probability of flooding thus requiring a flood risk assessment and mitigation in place. - Part(s) of the site may likely be retained to provide Open Space/Green Infrastructure.

The site is currently used as commercial offices, and is in a key location with access on the A road. Should the adjacent fields be developed as housing the site could be used for retail/food provision to supply the new houses. Initial contact with commercial surveyors in Birmingham suggest the location and current traffic movements would sustain a modest retail element on the site, such as a Tesco Express style store or modest drive thru or restaurant facility. If neighbouring Mahoney's, or the adjacent field, were available for redevelopment, there would be enough space to house a new local centre to supply the additional housing.

Previous mining activity in the area. There is a stream at the rear of the site along boundary. Storm water drain crosses the site from houses on the opposite side of the road with agreement to be able to connect to it (1958). Other services are situated along the road/pavement (Cotwall End Road). It was obviously envisaged that this side of the road would be developed, as numbering allows for 27 houses (14-66) and several from 74 upwards.

It could enhance the area if it were developed from an overgrown, unmanaged piece of land into residential properties. From research there seem to be very few properties of any type available to buy/rent in the area. It is a traditional part of the borough where families like to set up home near to the older generations and other relatives, but the availability seems to be very limited at present.

Not used, not developed. Overgrown. When the large area now comprising adjoining small housing estate (1970s?) to the south and east of the site was built this remnant of land was reserved for re-routing Broad Lane North. At this point it would have been purchased by the council. The scheme was later abandoned.
approx 15, depending on density
Access to adjoining land to west agreed with owner of that land in 1993. Land remains property of the Trust I represent, and is shown as such on the official Land Registry. Claimed as open space by Walsall council when there were plans for 'Green Corridor' and 'Urban Walkway' from Essington to Dudley Castle. Never pursued by council. Tree preservation orders on several trees on eastern border of site which could be kept. Services available from Highgrove Close (as with vehicular access).
No
Not in use.
Integral small access road and footpaths for the new buildings. on site Access from hammer-head on Highgrove Close.
Application to develop in 1989-1994. Discussions with Planning Officers indicated Wolverhampton/Walsall would want this land as part of 'urban walkway' and that they would purchase for such use. Discussions led owner to believe that part of the site could be developed for houses and part acquired for the walkway. Planning Officers recommended this to the councillors who rejected it out of hand. Public enquiry held and proposed solution of part development was upheld by the Inspector. Walsall council insisted it was all needed, designated it is 'open space' but refused to purchase it. It has there lain there for above 25 years becoming more overgrown and unused.
No answer given
The Trust has received an expression of interest in acquiring the land to develop housing on the site.

I quote the report of the Inspector after the Public Enquiry in 1994: 'To leave this land without any allocation as the council seems to be proposing would appear to be inconsistent with the council's approach to other areas of land like this which are surrounded by urban development. To let it remain as an untended, informal 'wild' area will not serve the interests of the owners, the local residents or the council in the longer term'. 'Recommendation: I recommend that the objection land be allocated for housing under Proposal H1 and as a protected Urban Space under Policy REC1 and that land on the western side of the site be reserved for a possible greenway.'

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) created a new designation of 'Local Green Space'. Local green space designation allows local communities to protect green spaces of local importance for reasons including setting and nature conservation. Current I am not aware of the processes that will be used to grant the designations but as there is no requirement for physical changes then I am assuming the designation will be immediate.
It is my view that other local groups and people would have wanted to identified this site as being important and worthy of being classified as a Local Green Space, under the NPPF rules and guidelines, but, the they have not been made aware of the call for sites mechanism. I believe they would be able to make a much better case than I.
This will be immediate
No.
In the context of the Local Green Space designation the following is relevant: The proximity to the community for some if literally at the end of their gardens (Grove Road and Oldnall Close) and you can see gates that form part of the boundary treatment for a number of these properties. This area is within 15 minutes walking distance for approximately 5000 people and is accessible to more via the rights of way network that is associated with this area. This is a recreational space which is used by older, younger and family members of the community, it is free at its point of use and provides good walking/healthy exercise for all and is a natural socialising space, even in a Covid 19 situation, this place continued to function. This field is where life long relationship in a wider community can be forged and where people can and do walk in the steps of their Great Grand Parents and those who have followed since. This is one of the very few local landscapes that is shared across time, in an historical sense, in the now sense and in the future sense. The path that runs on the outside of the field, and is a foot worn path that has existed for generations, initially serving the original people who moved to the estates in 1920's as access to the country side and to casual work at the local farms (picking and harvesting crops for the local stores). This site has to been seen to be understood in terms of the local context. This area is local in terms of it's character as it is in a concealed plateau, hidden from the highway (Oldnall Road) and only visible from Hodge Hill and other local properties which share boundaries with this site. It has the appearance of rural locale and there is no industry or housing developments to be seen in any direction (there are nestling properties (farms and farm buildings) and the back gardens of the houses in Grove Road and Oldnall Close). Walkers be they local or from further a field can see only open country side in terms of the typical English mythical rural idyll. This space is not allocated for other development and there are no current planning permissions in place. Google earth shows the foot worn pathways and gives a perfect example of the local geographical context.

The lack of time and Covic 19 restrictions on public meetings and social distancing have rendered wider community engagement impossible.

Land at Pennwood represents a unique opportunity for new market and affordable homes on the edge of Wolverhampton, in a sustainable and accessible location. Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes have aspirations to meet the local communities’ ambitions at Pennwood and to deliver landscape led proposals comprising modern, high quality homes where people will want to live, and significant open space, including a new woodland park, which will protect and enhance the environment, biodiversity and pedestrian accessibility. Overall the proposals comprise a minimal amount of land being released from the Green Belt for new homes, with the wider site remaining in the Green Belt and made accessible for use by the public.

Part of the site is known by local historians as the 'Flint Field'
Land to the north of Oldnall Road, in Cradley, Halesowen and Wollescote, West Midlands. It adjoins housing in Deer Park Gardens, Cradley and in Seymour Road, Wollescote, stretching back on its northern side to the SINC and buildings in Cradley and Lye. The location map doesn't seem to be functioning properly and is making it very difficult to draw the northern boundary of the site.

This natural green space is used for recreation by the local community, and has been for many generations. The recent Covid-19 pandemic has emphasised the need for more green open space to be available for the Cradley community for exercise and feeling of well-being. The local park, a walk of some 20 minutes away from the site, has become at times too busy to accommodate everyone who wants to use it whilst still offering personal space and a sense of peacefulness. In good weather particularly, and with increased leisure time, there are far more dog walkers, family groups, sport participants in training, joggers, power walkers and people just generally wanting to get out and enjoy the open air and a pleasant environment. An opportunity for all of these beneficial activities is found at the site in question and as a result it has attracted more visitors from a wider area. Because of its size, its wooded areas and many pathways it still offers a peaceful environment. Green spaces, particularly natural green spaces, located close to local people, provide a range of social, environmental and even economic benefits, including – • improved mental health. Research is beginning to show the benefits regarding alleviation of depression, anxiety and even pain when in an uplifting and peaceful green area • improved physical health • increased social activity • increased physical activity • reduced petty crime – somewhere to go to meet friends to socialise away from shops and housing • improvements to children’s learning about the environment and their heritage • improved community cohesion and sense of belonging • a more attractive place to live, work, play and visit • preservation of opportunities for wildlife habitats and wildlife corridors. There is a also great benefit when an amenity is so close to housing that no cost is involved in travel or car parking.

The site is already ideally suited for its use by the community, and for designation as a Local Green Space.
No.
There is a lack of green open space in general in Cradley and Dudley Borough (Dudley MBC Local Development Framework: Parks & Green Space Strategy). The site is local in scale and relatively small compared to neighbouring fields. It serves the local community by providing a quiet area for informal recreation and has done so for all of living memory. People exercise their dogs, and walk for leisure, fitness and for the feeling of wellbeing that improves mental health. Children play, building camps and visiting the ancient spring site. There are also extensive views, and a viewing point, over the Black Country towards Netherton, Rowley Regis and Dudley where the castle is clearly visible. It serves the whole Cradley community by: - continuing to provide a widely visible area of green space to the people living to its northern side due to its elevated position on a ridge with adjoining SINC on its lower reaches. It is an area of natural beauty in contrast to the lower Northern areas of Cradley where there are many industrial units and built up areas of housing. - providing an open green space in a quiet and peaceful location for those who live within a reasonable walking distance (20 minutes) - providing an open green space for those living within a short walking distance in the nearby housing estates, flats and new build houses. It is akin to walking in the peace of the countryside and is as close as many local people are able to achieve that, taking into account travel costs, time and family constraints. It is a tranquil area, with a SLINC to one side and more open fields adjacent. It is an area of natural beauty and is also often visited so that people can see the diversity of wildlife there, including deer. Meditative prayer walks by the congregation of Overend Methodist Mission have taken place there. There is a B class road, but the vast majority of traffic uses a parallel main road, the A458. Because of this and the lie of the land there is no traffic noise. As above, since ancient times the site has been used for walking and for moving around the area; the King’s Highway, a historic right of way, runs through it. The King’s Highway (Public Footpath H215) features in organised walks and booklets printed by Halesowen Abbey Trust; Country Walks around Halesowen’s Green Borderland. Local historians and Cradley Now & Then have also organised walking trails for visitors, including from the Black Country Society. Part of the green space is known as the Flint Field, and to the west of that it has an area once occupied by the settlement of Oldnall, Oldnall Colliery and Oldnall Farm. People of all ages who are interested in history walk along the paths to see if they can discover small finds. The site has a particular local historic and archaeological significance, as evidenced in the attached document compiled by K James BSC (HONS), MSC, PHD, FIAP. The site's designation as a Local Green Space would underline that significance and ensure that it will continue to be available for the community, providing an area of natural beauty for recreation, health and fitness.

This site is at the top of very step escarpment which is referred to as the "Old County Line" , however the whole of the area is in the Borough of Dudley. This site is and always has been a Local Green Space, there are no constraints on the site in this sense and as it relates to the NPPF 2019. This area is totally free from any type of development. In terms of it being local it absolutely is, this space is visited and used only by either local residents (or former residents of the area) and by walkers belonging to groups like the Ramblers or other local associations. This area, from time to time, will feature as part of local walking route. This is not an area that is promoted as any type of amenity by anyone. Apart from the field the landscape is worked only by the elements and the trails created by human use. The is a wide open space at one of the highest points in the Borough of Dudley , which commands views over a large part of the Midlands. Alternatively the views as you walk away from the County Line are 100% rural. This land is not overlooked by any roads carrying vehicles. This area is not overlooked by any properties used as dwelling houses. This area is used by both young and old alike for a wide variety of recreational uses. This area is used by early morning walkers and runners. In the afternoon it is used by older people often in small groups (Friends and Neighbours) accompanied by a dog or two. Later in the day families will be out and about exploring the neighbourhood and recalling social history of the area. This is a place that has been walked by five or more generations of local people and the area links back to a time when the wider area was farming land. This is an area that is rich in flora and fauna, where the air is good and there is much scope for exercise. The landscape has many gentle inclines which makes it ideal for those attempting to keep fit or start a fitness regime. The views are inspiring and seasonal and the area is easily accessible in all weather conditions. This is a free at the point of use recreational space for the 4000 residents who live within a 20 minute walk time. If there had have been time within the call for sites process then I believe that others would have made site submissions for this location and that there would have been many letters of support as well as a petition.
