The framework has been endorsed by the Worcestershire Green Infrastructure Partnership. Partnership members include the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, Natural England, Environment Agency, Forestry Commission, English Heritage, the County and District Councils and the Voluntary Sector. Background to the Framework The Green Infrastructure partnership is producing a series of 'framework documents' which provide the evidence base for the development of the GI Strategy. Framework Document 1 is an introduction to the concept of Green Infrastructure (GI) and also identified the need for the strategic planning of GI and the policy drivers that support the planning of GI at differing spatial scales. Framework Document 2 is an introduction to the natural environment landscape, biodiversity and historic environment datasets and developed the concept of GI Environmental Character Areas based on the quality and quantity of the natural environment assets.

  • Transfer of Kingsford Forest Park to the National Trust

    Transfer of Kingsford Forest Park to the National Trust

    Cabinet 16 October 2014 6. TRANSFER OF KINGSFORD FOREST PARK TO THE NATIONAL TRUST Relevant Cabinet Mrs L Hodgson and Mr J Campion Members Relevant Officer Director of Business, Environment and Community Local Member Mr G Yarranton Recommendation 1. The Cabinet Members with Responsibility for Localism and Communities and Transformation and Change, recommend that the Cabinet: (a) approves the transfer of the freehold of Kingsford Forest Park to the National Trust; and (b) that the authority to negotiate and agree the detailed terms and conditions of the transfer is delegated to the Director of Business, Environment and Community in consultation with the Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Localism and Communities. Background Information 2. Kingsford Forest Park comprises 85.4 hectares of mixed deciduous and conifer woodland, and lowland heathland at Wolverley near Kidderminster. It is owned and managed by Worcestershire County Council as part of its countryside estate and is principally used for informal recreation such as dog walking, horse riding, mountain biking, nature study, picnicking and other similar outdoor pursuits. It has a number of waymarked trails, two car parks and a toilet block. Current County Council activity consists of managing and promoting the site and overseeing the work of contractors and volunteers. The park falls within the Kinver Edge Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) all of which is owned and managed by the National Trust, apart from Kingsford Forest Park. The park has a number of designations due to its nature conservation, landscape and historical interest which includes some "Rock House" structures and naturally occurring rock outcrops that have to be carefully monitored for safety reasons.

    By Email 9 December 2019 SSC Local Plan Review Green Bely Area

    By Email 9 December 2019 SSC Local Plan Review Green Bely Area GREEN BELT CONCERS SSC HOUSING STRATERGY PROPOSED AREAS FIELDS AROUND THE ROE DEER PUB AND FRIARS GORSE Dear Sir / Madam I would like to register an objection to the proposed green belt development along the A449. At present when you leave Wordsley along Lawnswood Road and move into Staffordshire it represents the gateway to some of the most scenic countryside in the UK. From that point travelling west through Staffordshire, Shropshire and into Wales it is a beautiful journey. The proposed building on this green belt site will only lead to more building until the countryside that we know will have been destroyed. The proposed development has no anchor in South Staffordshire as the nearest village is Kinver. It is understandable if a proposed development is connected to an existing developed area such as Kinver, Bobbington or Wombourne but this proposal is totally from scratch with no amenities at all, it would be a new village / township. What are the implications of this proposal to build 500 to 2500 houses? At present the existing roads including the A449 and the A491 will be totally inadequate to cope with a potential 5000 cars, vans lorries and buses. The current traffic situation on both the major roads is very congested with the A491 gridlocked for most of the day. Already the train stations along the line from Stourbridge to Birmingham are full of commuters so that late comers have to park on the road. This proposed development will only make the situation far worse.

  • Kinver Neighbourhood Plan First Consultation Issues and Options Appendices

    Kinver Neighbourhood Plan First Consultation Issues and Options Appendices

    Kinver Neighbourhood Plan First Consultation Issues and Options Appendices. Appendix 1. What is a Neighbourhood Development Plan? 1.1 Neighbourhood Development Plans (NDPs) were introduced through the Localism Act 2011 to give local people a greater say in planning decisions that affect their area. NDPs are neighbourhood level planning policy documents with policies designed to reflect the needs and priorities of local communities. 1.2 NDPs can identify where development should take place, set out local design principles so that buildings respond positively to local character, and protect important facilities, historic buildings, the natural environment and open spaces. Made (adopted) NDPs are part of the local statutory development plan for their area. Planning applications are determined in accordance with the Neighbourhood Plan unless ‘material considerations’ indicate otherwise. (‘Material Considerations’ are factors provided for in planning law, such as Highway safety and access, capacity of local infrastructure, effects on listed buildings, loss of light or privacy etc.; and higher-level planning policies including emerging policies). 1.3 A Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) can cover a range of planning related issues. This document has been prepared as a first step in setting out the possible scope and range of planning issues the Kinver NDP could cover and potential policy options for addressing these issues. 1.4 It is important to remember that our Plan has to be ‘in general conformity’ with higher-level strategic planning policies. This means it has to sit within the strategic policies in the South Staffordshire Core Strategy, adopted in 2012 and accompanying policies maps1, and cannot provide for less new housing than allocated in the South Staffordshire Local Plan.
