Respondent: The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country

Representation Summary:

WAE105 - Rear of Globe Pub, Darlaston Road, Walsall - WTBBC have concluded that the Site Assessment process should not have selected site:
• The site is a Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation (SLINC). The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that Local Plans should safeguard components of local wildlife-rich habitats and wider ecological networks, including locally designated sites of importance for biodiversity. WTBBC therefore object to the allocation on this basis.
• LNRS core habitat zone with high potential for/evidence of presence of priority habitats/ species. Forms part of the River Tame Valley.
