Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 177
Received: 07/09/2017
Respondent: Birmingham and the Black Country Wildlife Trust
We welcome the Ecological Network Study and Strategic Mapping to provide robust, up-to-date and comprehensive evidence. These should build on the NIA ecological network mapping. The Wildlife Trust can provide advice on their scope and methods.
We would also particularly welcome a review of land outside designated sites to identify further sites meeting SINC selection criteria. These may not have been assessed since 1977 and could have changed dramatically. NIA mapping provides a robust framework to target survey effort.
We would also welcome a review of data-sets regarding Geological Heritage Consideration Zones.
