SAE200 Land adjacent to Asda, Wolverhampton Road, Oldbury
WTBBC have concluded that the Site Assessment process should not have selected site:
• 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.
• Site is adjacent to River Tame and forms part of the wider Tame Valley Wildlife Corridor. Development of this site would significantly narrow the corridor at this point.
• High potential for/evidence of presence of priority habitats and species.
• Site forms part of important and well connected area in Draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy.
