SUPPORT POLICY ENV 1 Nature Conservation and designation of Corbett Meadow (Dudley) as SLINC

The ecology of Meadow has been well documented in the past and its continued designation as Site of Local Interest for Nature Conservation is wholly justified.

However the Meadow may well be of even greater interest as revealed by recent informal surveys (for example, it is now thought, on good authority, to provide a habitat for the rare Hawthorn Jewel Beetle) and should be resurveyed with a view to elevating its status to a regionally significant Site of Interest for Nature Conservation.

Further, the site is part of the wider Coalbournebrook Valley and the myriad & linked habitats it provides warrants consideration of its designation as a Local Nature Reserve.
