SUPPORT POLICY DSA4 Corbett Meadow Local Green Space (Dudley)

We welcome the positive response to our submission through Call for Sites (BCP ref 10516) of a detailed case promoting the designation of Corbett Meadow as a Local Green Space.

The retention of this land as green space is essential to protect the landscape & townscape character of the area, a vital urban greenspace in the built up area so characteristic of the morphology of the Black Country as an "endless village" of distinct neighbourhoods: to provide the opportunity for the use & management of the land in the public interest; and to respect the history of the site and that of Amblecote & Stourbridge and also the wishes of the benefactor who gifted the land to local people for the provision of a public park & hospital
