Respondent: The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country

WTBBC have concluded that the Site Assessment process should not have selected site:
• Site identified as Potential Site of Importance (for nature conservation).
• A Local (wildlife) Site Assessment is required to provide evidence to inform the BCP Site Assessment process. This has not been undertaken and therefore WTBBC object to the allocation on this basis.
• WTBBC understand the allocation is an area of de facto public open space. It is WTBBC’s position that due to the densely urban local landscape and the broad range of benefits that public open space provides, the formalisation of this use should be pursued.
