SUPPORT POLICY DSA4 Corbett Meadow Local Green Space (Dudley)
We welcome the positive response to our submission through Call for Sites (BCP ref 10516) of a detailed case promoting the designation of Corbett Meadow as a Local Green Space.
The retention of this land as green space is essential to protect the landscape & townscape character of the area, a vital urban greenspace in the built up area so characteristic of the morphology of the Black Country as an "endless village" of distinct neighbourhoods: to provide the opportunity for the use & management of the land in the public interest; and to respect the history of the site and that of Amblecote & Stourbridge and also the wishes of the benefactor who gifted the land to local people for the provision of a public park & hospital

SUPPORT POLICY ENV 1 Nature Conservation and designation of Corbett Meadow (Dudley) as SLINC
The ecology of Meadow has been well documented in the past and its continued designation as Site of Local Interest for Nature Conservation is wholly justified.
However the Meadow may well be of even greater interest as revealed by recent informal surveys (for example, it is now thought, on good authority, to provide a habitat for the rare Hawthorn Jewel Beetle) and should be resurveyed with a view to elevating its status to a regionally significant Site of Interest for Nature Conservation.
Further, the site is part of the wider Coalbournebrook Valley and the myriad & linked habitats it provides warrants consideration of its designation as a Local Nature Reserve.
