    07/1 MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE PARISH COUNCIL OF LONGDON HELD IN THE W. I. HALL, LONGDON, ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 9TH, 2007 Present: Cllr. R. C. Hemmingsley (Vice-Chairman, who, in the absence of the Chairman, chaired the meeting); Cllr. N. J. Bird; Cllr. B. J. Butler; Cllr. A. J. Juxon; Cllr. Mrs. M. G. Nichols; and Cllr. H. M. P. Reynolds. Also present were the Clerk; Cllr. N. J. Roberts, of Lichfield District Council; County Councillor F. W. Lewis, M. B. E.; and Mrs. Jane Russell, Village Correspondent of “The Village Mercury”. 1. APOLOGIES Cllr. The Rev. J. R. Andrews; Cllr. N. Stanfield; Cllr. M. A. W. Parsons; and Cllr. S. K. Welch. 2. PRESENTATION BY CLLR. ROBERTS Before opening the meeting, Cllr. Hemmingsley invited Cllr. Roberts to make a presentation on the West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Phase Two Revision. Cllr. Roberts explained that the West Midlands Regional Assembly had just issued a document setting out spatial options for four planning areas – housing, employment, transport and waste. The main emphasis was on housing, for which a series of tables relating to housing distribution had been set out, together with three options – the first reflecting a continuum of previous figures, the second planning for a 25% increase and the third, the Government’s own preferred option, providing for a 50% increase. The adoption of the third of these options would result in an increase in the Lichfield area of 16,000 dwellings, which would be considerably larger than any other adjoining district except East Staffordshire and might even lead to development on the margins of the Green Belt.

Fullwood, P Couchman, G Duckett, B Butler, K Taylor, H Meere. Parish Councillor Apologies; C Webb Other apologies: Clerk; H Goodreid Public Attendees; 14 members of public attended the meeting Min No. Item Action 185 Apologies & Acceptance of Apologies 185.1 Apologies were received and accepted from Cllr Chris Webb. 186 Declarations of Interest 186.1 None were declared. 187 Chairman to close meeting for public session. 187.1 Sunny Corner, Upper Longdon: there was concern and disappointment that the letters objecting to the development from residents and the parish council, did not amount to anything when the application was considered at Lichfield District Council. There was the apparent feeling that even if the planning application was refused, if the applicant appealed, the amount of money it would cost Lichfield to defend its point of view was too great so it was approved anyway. 187.2 It was agreed that Longdon Parish Council would send a complaint to LDC Clerk to write to LDC re decision voicing the concerns of the parishioners and councillors. It was also agreed that LDC planning Officers / Cllrs be invited to a future meeting to and inviting to next meeting discuss the planning process etc. Parishioners requested that the PC and request obtain clarification regarding the use of petitions, e.g. if 30 people sign a clarification regarding the petition is that registered/counted as one comment, compared to the same 30 people sending individual letters.

  • 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.

  • Hymenoptera: Aculeata) of Some Key Heathland Sites in the West Midlands Region
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 23: 2010 77 THE BEE AND WASP ASSEMBLAGES (HYMENOPTERA: ACULEATA) OF SOME KEY HEATHLAND SITES IN THE WEST MIDLANDS REGION STEVEN J. FALK Warwickshire Museum, Market Place, Warwick CV34 4SA [email protected] ABSTRACT A description of the modern bee and wasp assemblages of seven heathlands in the British West Midlands region at the end of the twentieth century is given with an indication of historic losses and recent gains. The characteristics of the various habitats that are typically present at such sites and the way that these are utilised by bees and wasps are discussed. INTRODUCTION Despite the ravages of agricultural improvement and the substantial growth of towns and cities within the British West Midlands Region (sensu modern Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire and the unitary districts such as Birmingham and Wolverhampton that formed the former West Midlands County), patches of lowland heathland still remain. However, huge losses have been incurred (90% in Staffordshire over the past 200 years according to DEFRA, 2003) and with the exception of Cannock Chase the remaining sites are mostly small and isolated. Today, the Region supports approximately 3000 hectares of ‘heathland’ (DEFRA, loc. cit.) of which nearly 2000 hectares fall within modern Staffordshire, 500 hectares in the former West Midlands County, 108 hectares in modern Worcestershire, and the remainder in Herefordshire, Shropshire and Warwickshire. The precise definition of heathland used by the various sources varies from ericaceous dwarf-shrub communities in the strictest sense to the larger mosaics of heathers, scrub, bracken and grassland that often occur in association.
