An assessment of the housing potential of each site was made by assessing its developable area. This was limited by factors like topography, irregular shaped plots and site specific constraints. Where sites have already been subject to a detailed appraisal e.g. through a planning application or development brief, this capacity figure has been used. This approach has allowed the Site Allocations & Delivery DPD to consider a broad range of sites across the Borough and ensure that the figures contained within the Core Strategy can comfortably be met. It is important to stress that the housing capacity figures are merely a broad indication of a site’s capacity.

The geological galleries were opened by Charles Lapworth (founder of the Ordovician System) in 1912 and the museum carries out annual programmes of geological activities, exhibitions and events (see accompanying supporting information disc for additional detail).

  • The RW Chase Collection of British Birds
    BIRMINGHAM MUSEUMS AND ART GALLERY Birmingham Ornithology Collections Part 1 - The R W Chase Collection of British Birds Phil Watson © Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery Version 1.0 December 2010 Birmingham Ornithology Collections Part 1 - The R W Chase Collection of British Birds Introduction Robert William Chase (1852-1927) owned a brush making business based in Upper Dean Street, Birmingham and lived variously at Edgbaston, Poole Hall Wishaw, St. Brelade’s in King’s Norton and Bewdley. He was a philanthropist interested in children’s education and served as vice- chairman of the Blue Coat School board of governors and chairman of the Fentham Trust which supported some children attending the school. He was an extremely active member of the Birmingham Natural History and Philosophical Society, both as a regular exhibitor and as an official (for example he was President for the years 1885-1886, 1899, 1905-1907 and Treasurer for 1892-1894). Typical of the enquiring Victorian naturalist, he amassed a large collection of British birds, numbering over 1300 specimens, representing 273 species, and several thousand eggs and nests. When the collection grew too big for his then current house parts of it were stored at his factory premises. Some of his collection was put on loan with Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in 1910 and these specimens were on show during the British Association meeting in Birmingham in 1913; Chase contributed the section on ornithology for the accompanying British Association Handbook. In June 1924 the whole collection was purchased by the Feeney Charitable Trust for just over £3,000 and presented to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

Introduction In order to provide an income stream to both protect services and facilities within parks, as well as improving parks where we can, BCC is proposing the introduction of parking charges at selected parks. The proposed scheme at Lickey Hills Country Park will result in a number of key benefits, namely: Visitors to the park will benefit from reinvestment of revenue from car park charging into the park for its ongoing upkeep and future works Longstanding traffic management issues can be effectively managed and resolved. e.g. traffic restrictions along Warren Lane which will prevent vehicles causing an obstruction Improve accessibility by addition of formal disabled bays in the car parks The presence of enforcement officers can act as a visual deterrent which may deter any anti-social behaviour Ability for the Parks Service to meet savings targets for 2019/20 and onwards. The decision to introduce parking charges is not something the council has done lightly – in fact we’ve held off whilst many other councils throughout the country have introduced charging (see appendix B).
