Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 23531

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

We are unclear at this time whether new waste sites are being proposed within the plan. If so, where are they located and what are the implications for the historic environment and what assessment has been undertaken to assess the harm? We remain concerned about the level of growth in the wider region and how the historic environment will be affected. We are keen to understand what Waste Site Impact Assessments will cover and how they relate to the need for appropriate assessment for the historic environment, where necessary. We request the inclusion of a clause relevant for the historic environment within paragraph 11.40.
