SAE158 Severn Trent land off Roway Lane, 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.
• High potential for/evidence of the presence of priority habitats and species (namely Open Mosaic Habitats on Previously Developed Land (OMHPDL), rare plants, butterflies and other notable invertebrates/of conservation concern).
• Site forms part of important and well connected area in Draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy.
