WAH238 - Land at Vicarage Road / Coronation Road, High Heath - WTBBC strongly recommend that alternative development sites are sought in order to prevent loss of green belt. It is WTBBC’s position that features within the site should be retained:
• Site includes an area of Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation (SLINC). It is therefore WTBBC’s position that the SLINC and a suitable buffer between this and the development area be retained.
• The western portion of the site forms part of an important ecological corridor which links a number of areas of the Walsall green belt. This area should therefore be excluded from any development.
