WEDNESFIELD, WOLVERHAMPTON Historic Building Recording Summary Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Turley Associates to undertake a programme of Historic Building Recording of the former Temperance Hall, Hall Street, Wednesfield, Wolverhampton (hereafter ‘the Site’, NGR 394371 300023). The Site lies within a plot of land between Hall Street and Well Street to the south of Wednesfield High Street and the Wyrley and Essington Canal. The Site is currently occupied by Hill Brothers Building Supplies. Planning permission has been granted for the extension of the adjacent Sainsbury’s supermarket, which will necessitate demolition of the Hall The building on the Site is a brick built single storey rectangular structure built in the mid-19th century, apparently as a Temperance Hall. A substantial extension was made around the turn of the 20th century when the building was converted to a music hall. Few changes were then made until its integration into Brookhouse Garage as a greasing bay and body shop, when it is believed the interior of the building was probably stripped. By time of survey there was very little evidence internally for the buildings 19th and early 20th century occupation, although a number of original windows, original roof trusses and ventilation duct did survive. No evidence for the original floor or wall fittings were observed, likely having been stripped and their former presence obscured by a long period of use as a garage and building supplies warehouse. The rebuilding of the eastern elevation and the numerous alterations to its northern elevation severely detracts from the visual legibility of the buildings original appearance. Despite this, the Hall retained a good degree of evidence for its long and varied occupation, as well as aesthetic value as a piece of late 19 th -century modest public architecture. The physical Site archive is currently stored at Wessex Archaeology’s Sheffield offices and will be deposited in due course with Wolverhampton Archives, under an accession number to be confirmed.

  • Review of Baseline Conditions
    Walsall Site Allocation Document (SAD) and Town Centre Action Plan (AAP) Sustainability Appraisal Report (March 2016) 4. Review of ‘Baseline’ Evidence 4.1 Background to Review Appendix E to the Revised SA Scoping Report (v2 May 2013) summarises the baseline evidence reviewed by the Council at the scoping stage, by SA Topic, and Chapters 5 and 6 of the report provides a summary of existing environmental, economic and social conditions and problems, how they are likely to develop, and the areas likely to be affected. This chapter provides an updated summary of ‘baseline’ environmental, social and economic conditions, which is based on the most up-to-date evidence available at the time the SA Framework was reviewed in July 2015. The baseline date for the evidence used in the appraisal (unless otherwise specified) is April 2015, although more up-to-date information has been used where available. 4.2 Development of Evidence Base Evidence Used in Appraisal and Plan Preparation Schedule 2 of the SEA Regulations states that the SA Report should include a description of: “The relevant aspects of the current state of the environment and the likely evolution thereof without implementation of the plan or programme;” “The environmental characteristics of areas likely to be significantly affected;” and “Any existing environmental problems which are relevant to the plan or programme, including areas of particular environmental importance,” such as ‘European Sites’ designated under the Habitats and Birds Directives.1 This Chapter addresses these requirements (see Appendix P). As the SA is an integrated assessment that includes EqIA and HIA as well as SEA, the baseline evidence must include 1 These are sites of European importance for biodiversity, including sites which are designated or proposed to be designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and Ramsar sites.

  • 97. Arden Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 97. Arden Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 97. Arden Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) knowledge.
