These representations relate specifically to STW’s landholding at The Bratch, Wombourne (‘the site’) as shown edged red on the attached Site Location Plan at Appendix A . Severn Trent Water 1.2 STW is a regulated utility company with statutory responsibilities for the provision of water and sewerage services across the English Midlands and Central Wales. As a result of changing processes in relation to clean water provision and wastewater treatment, significant areas of land are no longer required by the business for operational purposes and as such are surplus to requirements. STW is currently undertaking a programme of rationalising its land holdings and is seeking to dispose of redundant operational assets for alternative uses through a process of Irrevocable Sign Off (ISO). Proceeds from the asset disposal are reinvested back into the core business to improve services for its customers. National Housing Crisis 1.3 The UK is facing an unprecedented housing crisis as a result of successive Governments failing to build the homes people need 1. This failure has not only prevented people from accessing the housing market it has also damaged economic growth as it has reduced the mobility of the labour market and undermined the ability of areas to attract inward investment. 1.4 With a growing population and chronic undersupply of housing it is clear that issues of overcrowding, affordability and reduced social mobility are becoming more prevalent, particularly in rural areas where housing delivery has to be carefully balanced against the protection of the countryside. 2 Purpose of the Representations 1.5 The purpose of this representation is to demonstrate that the site is deliverable in that it is available now, is in a suitable location for development now, and is achievable with a realistic prospect that housing will be delivered on the site within five years. It also establishes that sensitive residential re- development of the site would accord with the principles of sustainable development set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). 1 Lyons Housing Review: Mobilising across the nation to build the homes our children need (October 2014) 2 Towards a one nation economy: A 10-point plan for boosting productivity in rural areas, DEFRA, page 19 (August 2015) GL Hearn Page 4 of 17 J:\PLANNING\Jobs\Live Jobs\OTHER\Severn Trent\Representations\The Bratch\STW_Site_Allocation_Rep_Wombourne_Nov-2017.docx Representations to the South Staffordshire Site Allocations Publication Plan, February 2017 Severn Trent Water Limited, Land at the Bratch, Bratch Lane,Wombourne, Staffordshire 1.6 This representation seeks the allocation of the site for a residential led mixed use development under policy SAD2 ‘The Preferred Options Housing Allocations’ of the SAD and supports the removal of policy SAD9 ‘The Bratch, Wombourne Policy Area’. Structure of the Representations 1.7 These representations have been structured to respond to matters of specific relevance to the promotion of the site, as follows: • The Site and its Surroundings; • The Planning Framework; • Detailed Representations to Policy SAD2; and • Summary and Conclusions Collaborative Working 1.8 STW are keen to work collaboratively with SSDC to deliver a ‘sound’ SAD which meets the identified housing needs in the District whilst protecting the open countryside from unnecessary development. We would welcome a meeting with Council officers to discuss potential development opportunities at the site and would seek to allay any concerns regarding site access or any other technical matters.

The Site 2.2 The site, which extends to approximately 9 hectares, is situated within the settlement boundary of Wombourne, a main village as defined in the South Staffordshire Core Strategy, in the administrative boundary of SSDC. It comprises a non-operational grade II* listed pumping station and a nitrate treatment plant which remains operations and does not form part of the proposals. The remainder of the site is no longer required by STW for operational purposes and is available for development immediately. 2.3 Existing vehicular access to the site is gained from Bratch Lane to the north. A public right of way (PROW) runs along western boundary of the site adjacent to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal and continues across the southern boundary. 2.4 The western parcel of the site adjacent to the canal and including the existing buildings is located within flood zone 2 (medium probability) with the remainder of the site situated in flood zone 1 (low probability). There are no statutory or non-statutory nature conservation designations present on site. The north-west corner of the site is located within the Canal Conservation Area. Whilst it is acknowledged that there are a number of constraints present on site, it is considered that none are insurmountable and would preclude development at the site. Site Surroundings 2.5 The site is located in a predominantly residential area and is bound by Bratch Lane and beyond that by residential properties to the north; the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal (River Stour) to the west; South Staffordshire Railway walk to the east, and residential development to the south. 2.6 The South Staffordshire Railway Walk Local Nature Reserve (LNR) is located immediately to the east of the site. In terms of heritage assets there are two grade II listed buildings associated with the canal located to the south of the site. A Sustainable Location 2.7 The site is located in a sustainable location within the Wombourne settlement boundary. It is situated in close proximity to a range of amenities, services and facilities including: GL Hearn Page 6 of 17 J:\PLANNING\Jobs\Live Jobs\OTHER\Severn Trent\Representations\The Bratch\STW_Site_Allocation_Rep_Wombourne_Nov-2017.docx Representations to the South Staffordshire Site Allocations Publication Plan, February 2017 Severn Trent Water Limited, Land at the Bratch, Bratch Lane,Wombourne, Staffordshire • Wombourne Leisure Centre; • Ounsdale High School; • Westfield Community Primary School; • St Benedict Biscop C of E Primary School; • Wombourne Library; • Medical Practices; and • Wombourne village centre containing shops, pubs and restaurant. 2.8 The village is served by public transport with a number of bus services operating between Wolverhampton and Dudley.

Specifically, these representations seek to test the proposed Spatial Housing Options in terms of whether they are: “a) Positively prepared – providing a strategy which, as a minimum, seeks to meet the area’s objectively assessed needs; and is informed by agreements with other authorities, so that unmet need from neighbouring areas is accommodated where it is practical to do so and is consistent with achieving sustainable development; b) Justified – an appropriate strategy, taking into account the reasonable alternatives, and based on proportionate evidence; c) Effective – deliverable over the plan period, and based

  • WOLVERHAMPTON CHRONICLE 1860 to 1869 1 4 January 1860
    WOLVERHAMPTON CHRONICLE 1860 to 1869 1 4 January 1860 STAFFORDSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS STEALING IRON AT SEDGLEY George Hughes, boatman, indicted for stealing 56 lbs of iron, the property of the London and North Western Railway Company, at Sedgley, was found guilty and sentenced to twelve months imprisonment. 2 18 January 1860 TIPTON DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE On Tuesday, an inquest was held at Swan Village on the body of Joseph Timmins, a boatman 20 years of age. On the preceding Saturday morning, deceased, in company with a man named William Smith, was on the canal with an empty boat, going to Tipton. When past Dudley Port, and near the canal bridge there, they came to a turn in the course of the canal and, meeting with another boat, a collision ensued between the two. Deceased, who stood up in the end of his own boat, fell into the water, and being able to swim, kept himself afloat until his companion, Smith, had nearly reached the side where he was, but at this moment he sank to the bottom of the canal, overcome, it is supposed, by the effects of the cold. Smith at once got out the body of deceased, and calling for help, a man named Griffiths, in the employ of the Canal Company, came up, and seeing that deceased was insensible, merely blew down his throat. This producing no apparent effect, he said, “I don't see that there's any life in him, and I'll take him to Tipton”. This course was pursued, and after taking the deceased to an office by the canal side, where he was laid still breathing, poor Timmins was conveyed to a public house in Tipton, a distance from this office of more than 300 yards.
