Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 182
Received: 07/09/2017
Respondent: Birmingham and the Black Country Wildlife Trust
For Key Issue 5 we welcome the commitment to make provision for environmental infrastructure (Paragraph 3.35) although would like to see a greater emphasis on allocating land for this within policies. The Wildlife Trust can provide guidance for this commitment building on existing NIA mapping .
We welcome the recognition in Paragraph 3.38 that designated sites may be affected by developments beyond their boundaries. We hope that this principal will be adopted for all nature conservation sites within the Black Country. This may be an area in which additional ecological support may be beneficial for local authorities.
