  • Draft Infrastructure Delivery Plan Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Consultation 2015
    Draft Infrastructure Delivery Plan Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Consultation 2015 Introduction The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) has been introduced by the Government as the preferred way for local authorities to improve infrastructure and deal with planning obligations. CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended) provide local authorities with the opportunity to generate revenue from new developments, to be spent on a wide range of infrastructure projects which are needed as a result of, or to enable, development. Such projects include (but are not limited to) roads, public transport, open space or health centres in their areas. CIL charges must be based on a viability assessment of development in the Borough and CIL income must be spent on identified infrastructure needs. Infrastructure Delivery Plan To support the introduction of CIL the Charging Authority (Walsall Council) must develop an evidence base including a borough wide viability study to assess the viability of a range of development types and an Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) to identify infrastructure projects needed to support development. To implement CIL Charges an IDP must demonstrate that there is a shortfall between funds available (if any) and the actual cost of infrastructure provision (referred to as the funding gap). Walsall Council’s IDP expands on, and updates the Infrastructure and Delivery Plan used to support the adoption of the Black Country Core Strategy in 2011 and has identified a comprehensive list of infrastructure along with a funding gap of over £180 million. This is set out in Appendix A. It should be noted that this IDP only sets out the baseline position of infrastructure requirements across Walsall and is intended to be a live document.

William Kendrick, Black Country man and bricklayer, founded the company in 1880. Soon his reputation for skilled and conscientious work was winning him substantial contracts all over the region.

Over the years the company has completed many prestigious projects - from housing to industrial, hospitals, schools and municipal buildings. Today the fourth and fifth generations of the first William Kendrick continue to guide the company, proud to see the founder’s principles of quality craftsmanship still demonstrated in the work of Kendrick Homes.

  • Building Birmingham: a Tour in Three Parts of the Building Stones Used in the City Centre
    Urban Geology in the English Midlands No. 3 Building Birmingham: A tour in three parts of the building stones used in the city centre. Part 3. Around the shops from the ‘Back of Rackham’s’ to the Bullring Ruth Siddall, Julie Schroder and Laura Hamilton The name ‘Birmingham’ is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Beormingahām, alluding to the home of the Beormingas clan and their settlement here was probably established as early as the 7th Century A.D. However the centre remained a poor region until the later 12th Century when Peter de Bermingham, local lord of the manor, developed a market centre around his castle, in the area that is now the Bull Ring. From then Birmingham’s economy began to take off and it became established as a small market town. The Bull Ring has also been shown to be an area of light industry at this time. Archaeological excavations carried out during the latest phase of construction in the early 2000s have revealed evidence of potters’ workshops and leatherworks during the 13th Century. This building stone walk focuses on the old centre of Birmingham, around the church of St Martin in the Bull Ring and the surrounding shopping malls. The area demonstrates continuity as a centre for trade and retail but the building materials used here have changed beyond those that would have been familiar to Peter de Bermingham and his family. The area has been transformed over the last two decades, and though the oldest part of the city of Birmingham, it is now the symbol of a new vibrant centre, with the covered markets replaced by glamorous shopping malls.
