Representation ID: 44889

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country

Representation Summary:

WOE734 BCRA - Springvale Avenue
WTBBC have concluded that the Site Assessment process should not have selected site:
• Site has been 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.
• Site scored Very High in Ecological Evaluation and forms part of well-connected Core Habitat area in Draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy.
• High potential for/evidence of the presence of priority habitats and species.
