report has followed the requirements of the Environment Agency’s Water Cycle Study (WCS) guidance and the requirements of the Brief to produce an Outline WCS for the Local Authority areas of Stafford Borough, Lichfield District, Tamworth Borough, South Staffordshire District and Cannock Chase District. As such, it assesses the constraints and requirements that will arise from the scale of the proposed growth on the water infrastructure of southern Staffordshire. The Councils are in the process of preparing their Local Development Frameworks (LDFs), as required by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. To assist with the identification of the potential development sites and settlements most suitable for development, this WCS, through consultation with the Councils, the Environment Agency, Severn Trent Water Limited (STWL) and South Staffordshire Water (SSW) has identified the potential constraints to development within the region. It considers the following issues, addressing the constraints that they may pose to future development and discusses the improvements necessary to achieve the required level of development: • Water Resources; • Water Quality and Environmental Issues; • Water Supply; • Flood Risk; and • Wastewater Collection; • Demand Management • Wastewater Treatment; In addition to assisting the Councils, the WCS process also provides a benefit to the water companies by providing them with a more detailed indication of the potential development within the area.

  • The History of Blithfield Reservoir the History of Blithfield Reservoir
    The History of Blithfield Reservoir The History of Blithfield Reservoir The land before Blithfield Reservoir Prior to the development of Blithfield Reservoir, the landscape consisted largely of fields with small areas of woodland, and was formed in the shape of a wide flat valley with a floor of alluvial sand and gravel; the land was used mainly by farmers for growing crops and grazing their animals. The River Blithe meandered for three miles through these woods and fields, with the small Kitty Fisher Brook winding alongside. The Tad Brook, slightly larger than the Kitty Fisher Brook, flowed into the north eastern part of the area. There were two buildings within the area that would eventually be flooded. In Yeatsall Hollow, at the foot of the valley, there was a small thatched cottage called Blithmoor Lodge. This was demolished to make way for the causeway that now allows vehicles to cross the Reservoir. The second building was an old mill called Blithfield Mill, positioned on the western bank of the River Blithe, and having an adjacent millpond; the mill’s water wheel was driven by the flowing water of the River Blithe. Although some maps show the mill as having been demolished, the foundation stones and the brick wall around the millpond remain. At times when the level of the Reservoir becomes low enough these remains become visible. During the 1930s and 1940s, The South Staffordshire Waterworks Company, as it was then known, purchased 952 hectares, (2,350 acres) of land, of which 642 hectares, (1,585 acres) was purchased from Lord Bagot.

Information provided within the document will inform the preparation of a Core Strategy for the District as part of the Local Development Framework, in particular in the consideration of potential development locations within the District and an overall spatial strategy for longer term development having regard to principles of sustainability. 1.2 In his report on the Public Examination into the District Council’s first submitted Core Strategy (withdrawn 2006), the Inspector concluded that although there were proposed housing allocations within some of the District’s rural settlements, there was a lack of evidence in relation to the suitability of villages in the District to accommodate growth. He considered that the relative sustainability of different settlements should have been assessed as part of the preparation of the Core Strategy. He indicated that an assessment of the sustainability of rural settlements would ensure that the scale and location of development outside the District’s two main towns was driven by overall sustainability considerations, rather than simply the availability of previously developed land.

Needwood & South Derbyshire Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West 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 East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Walsall Tour Notes 1993
    Walsall Tour Notes 1993 The West Midlands Group organised a walk that followed the Wyrley & Essington Canal from Walsall to Sneyd and used the newly re-opened passenger route from Bloxwich North to visit Churchbridge Railway interchange basin and the now demolished South Staffordshire Railway House near there, These notes reflect a time prior to the railway privatisation, when Regional Railways had charge of local services and Intercity operated the express trains in this region. Members from the East Midlands, West Midlands and North West groups attended. Lunch was arranged at the public house built beside the infilled locks at Sneyd. Tour leader ; Ray Shill. Index 2 – 18 Morning Walk 19 – 30 Afternoon Walk 31 – 34 Images of Walk Area 1 2 3 The walk begins at Walsall Station and the group assembles in the Saddler Centre. It is a modern brick and concrete structure, a product of 1970's architecture. Many will probably remember the old station, its wooden circular booking hall and frontage to Park Street. Some may even recall the transition, in 1978, when the old booking office was demolished to leave a gaping hole above the tracks below. In this period the station entrance was effected from Station Street across a temporary footbridge to an equally temporary booking office on the island platform. Then there was only one passenger service. Electric units, usually 304s, trundled from New Street to Walsall and back. Their diagram's might have involved exotic places such as Bletchley or Manchester, but for Walsall folk the train only went to Birmingham. If they wanted anywhere else it was simply change at Brummagen.

  • Chapter Eight: a Lost Way of Life – Farms in the Parish
    Chapter Eight: A lost way of life – farms in the parish Like everywhere else in England, the farms in Edingale parish have consolidated, with few of the post-inclosure farms remaining now as unified businesses. Of the 13 farms listed here post-inclosure, only three now operate as full-time agricultural businesses based in the parish (ignoring the complication of Pessall Farm). While for more than 200 years, these farms were far and away the major employers in the parish, full-time non-family workers now account for fewer than ten people. Where this trend will finally end is hard to predict. Farms in Oakley As previously mentioned, the historic township of Oakley was split between the Catton and Elford estates. In 1939, a bible was presented to Mrs Anson, of Catton Hall, from the tenants and staff of the estate, which lists Mansditch, Raddle, Pessall Pitts, The Crosses, Donkhill Pits and Oakley House farms among others. So the Catton influence on Oakley extended well into the twentieth century. Oakley House, Oakley The Croxall registers record that the Haseldine family lived at Oakley, which we can presume to be Oakley House. The last entry for this family is 1620 and the registers then show two generations of the Dakin family living there: Thomas Dakin who died in 1657, followed by his son, Robert . Thomas was listed as being churchwarden of Croxall in 1626 and in 1633. Three generations of the Booth family then lived at Oakley House. John Booth, born in 1710, had seven children. His son George (1753-1836 ) married Catherine and they had thirteen children, including Charles (1788-1844) who married Anna Maria.
