The applicant has not taken into account db symmetry’s proposals which are coming forward for the Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange (HNRFI) at junction 2 of the M69. This scheme is considered to be a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). It should be noted that this proposal is located within 5 miles of Nuneaton which is in the West Midlands. On this basis the Hinckley proposal is perfectly positioned to absorb a percentage of the capacity deemed to be essential at Four Ashes to service the Arc of the West Midlands. Accordingly, the scale of the West Midlands Interchange could be decreased. Paragraph 2.1 (b) states that the need for a SRFI development in this quadrant of the West Midlands has been identified since, at least, 2004. Identified by the Strategic Rail Authority 2004, the Strategic Rail Authority, West Midlands Regional Logistics Study; and successive drafts of the West Midlands Regional Spatial strategy which included conclusions of the appointed Examining Panel.

Licence no. 100019422 Map 2: CVHECZ 1 Refined HLC and HER data 1.1.1 Statement of heritage significance The lines of two Roman roads pass less than 200m either side of the zone and the Scheduled Roman forts and settlement of Pennocrucium and the Roman villa at Engleton lie 3km to the north and north west respectively. Prehistoric activity within Staffordshire survives within the river valleys where it lies sealed beneath the alluvium. Consequently it is possible that prehistoric activity may be located within the zone associated with the confluence of the rivers Penk and Saredon, although none to date is recorded on the Staffordshire HER. The historic landscape character of the western portion of the zone is dominated by field systems within the floodplain of the rivers Penk and Saredon whose confluence lie in this area (cf. Map 2). The origins of the field system are currently unknown, but it is possible that this area had provided meadow land during the medieval period. The Map 2 shows ‘Post 1880s Reorganised Piecemeal Enclosure’ to the east of the zone which relates to an earlier field system probably enclosed incrementally in the 16 th or 17 th century 1.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During the course of research and writing up my thesis, I have received invaluable assistance and support from several individuals and organisations. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Dr John Bourne, for supporting me during my studies. After a break of nearly a decade between completing my first degree and researching and writing this thesis, the experience has been daunting at times, but his patience and understanding have enabled me to finally complete my work. I would also like to thank Dr. Anthony Ingold, who has given constant advice and encouragement during my period of study. He too helped guide me through the process of writing my thesis, proof-reading my early drafts and often giving me a much-needed push to complete my chapters. Jeff Elson, who has passed on to me his extensive knowledge on the South and North Staffordshire Regiments over the years, also provided valuable advice and assistance during my research.
