Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 176
Received: 07/09/2017
Respondent: Birmingham and the Black Country Wildlife Trust
The Core Strategy includes robust environmental policies. We support a partial review and have provided advice to make policy ENV1 clearer and more robust and advice where other policy changes may affect decisions pertaining to the natural environment.
We would also like to see greater reference to the Birmingham and Black Country Nature Improvement Area (NIA). Support for NIA is required in National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) paragraphs 117 and 157.
