Many studies of the post-war reconstruction of British towns and cities have displayed a particular fascination with nationally-important planners and architects and there have been some recent significant oral accounts that have sought to chart the influence of prominent architects in shaping post-Second World War urban environments. Drawing specifically on recently-collected oral history narratives from James Roberts and John Madin, two of the most important locally-trained post-war architects to shape the reconstruction of Birmingham (UK), this paper explores the extent to which their artistic visions for the heart of Britain’s second city were tempered during the design and development process.

For this reason, Landmark's Site Sensitivity maps and Datasheet(s) place great emphasis on statutory data provided by the Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency; it also incorporates data from Natural England (and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents) and Local Authorities; and highlights hydrogeological features required by environmental and geotechnical consultants. It does not include any information concerning past uses of land. The datasheet is produced by querying the Landmark database to a distance defined by the client from a site boundary provided by the client. In the attached datasheet the National Grid References (NGRs) are rounded to the nearest 10m in accordance with Landmark's agreements with a number of Data Suppliers.
