WTBBC have concluded that the Site Assessment process should not have selected site:
• The site is a Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation (SLINC).
• Adjoins a Local Nature Reserve and Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, therefore high potential for detrimental impact.
• Ecological Evaluation of BC Green Belt found site to be of Very High ecological value.
• High potential for Priority species on site.
• WTBBC strongly recommend that alternative development sites are sought in order to prevent loss of green belt.
• Development would have significant negative impact on amenity and aesthetic value of RSPB Sandwell Valley.
