  • Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This Appendix
    Appendix 2: Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This appendix provides an overview of the historic environment for each of the Historic Environment Character Areas (HECAs) which fall within Lichfield District. It should be noted that the information and any recommendations contained within each of the documents is subject to amendment should any new information become available. For further information regarding the Historic Environment Record (HER); Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) and designated sites please contact: Cultural Heritage Team Environment & Countryside Development Services Directorate Staffordshire County Council Riverway Stafford ST16 3TJ Tel: 01785 277281/277285/277290 Email: [email protected] Staffordshire County Council February 2009 1 Historic Environment Character Area (HECA) 2a Introduction This document forms an overview of the HECA which specifically addresses the potential impact of medium to large scale development upon the historic environment. The character area covers 5,645ha lies wholly within Lichfield District boundary and to the west of Tamworth. Archaeological and Historic Documentation Archaeological work within the character area has tended to concentrate along the A5 and the M6 (Toll) roads. The information on this character area mostly comes from the HER data, whilst VCH has covered part of the area. Historic Environment Assets Summary The current understanding on the later prehistoric landscape of the character area suggests that it had mostly been heavily wooded until Bronze Age, when some clearance may have begun to take place to support a small scale pastoral economy. The earliest evidence for human activity from the character area dates to the Mesolithic period; however, this comes from flint artefacts and probably represents the presence of mobile hunting groups and transitory occupation.

Dear Sir, October 2011 The community of Stonnall is part of Lichfield DC. Situated in SE Staffordshire on the edge of the West Midlands. Our Village is set in the heart of the green belt and because of its closeness to the conurbation it is regarded as extremely vulnerable. We see the Localism Bill as an opportunity for a small village to show how we can respond to the core message. The Village Plan. “It is intended to pull together all the information in the strategy into a comprehensive Village plan that will demonstrate what benefits we can achieve by working together as a Community” (CLG Website) We believe that our Community is exceptional in the way a small Village of only 1200 adult population works together to deliver many of the things that the Bill hopes to achieve. We also recognise the requirement to address the needs of both an ageing population and those setting out in life.

Our vision is for a conurbation where jobs are interesting and plentiful, where urban life is of a high quality, and where the transport network offers attractive and effective ways of accessing work, shops, education and leisure. We want to see high quality bus, rail and light rail networks serving vibrant urban centres, and less of the traffic congestion which delays our activities, dirties our air and denies economic and social opportunities. We want effective links with the hub of the national rail network and strategic motorways. We need to invest in transport to create communities in which people want to live and in which businesses feel it is right to locate.
