  • Appendix 5: Historic Environment Character Zone Assessments: Tamworth
    Appendix 5: Historic Environment Character Zone Assessments: Tamworth This appendix provides an assessment of the historic environment for each of the Historic Environment Character zones (HECZs) for the three project areas of Lichfield, Burntwood and Tamworth. 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 THECZ1–HopwasHaysWood(HECA2a) Summary The zone once formed part of Cannock Forest and it is likely to have comprised a woodland character from the prehistoric period onwards. It largely retains its woodland character with only one building present which probably dates to the 18th century and whose origins may relate to woodland management. Medium to large scale development within the zone would have a considerable impact upon the woodland character of the zone. There is also the potential for earthworks to survive particularly relating to historic woodland management. Should development be planned for the zone it would need to address impacts upon and potential mitigation strategies for: • the impact upon the Conservation Area • the impact upon the historic building and its sense of isolation. • the potential for the survival of earthworks, including those relating to former woodland management • the potential for below ground archaeological deposits Early consultation with the Conservation Officers at Lichfield District Council and the Cultural Heritage Team at Staffordshire County Council is advised.

The sites are listed in Table 1 below, which also indicates their operational status at 31.12.16, progress on restoration, and which SAD and BCCS Policies apply. As part of the background evidence for the preparation of the SAD Minerals policies, the Council has produced detailed Site Profiles for each of the Permitted Minerals Sites. The original versions were produced in 2014 to inform the Walsall SAD & AAP Minerals Project, and these have been expanded and updated to reflect the situation at the end of March 2017. Footnotes are also included where more recent information has become available, up to the date of publication (February 2018).
