The detail of each site lane with often a great number of parked cars on will be assessed for its suitability, taking into account the road as a lot of the older built houses do not the appropriate evidence and comments received. have driveways and are unable to put driveways The Council’s adopted Design Supplementary in due to the older houses being very close to Planning Guidance sets out clear standards for sites. the road. Also, while this street is narrow, there are also speed humps, which if there are large caravans or carnival equipment potentially to come down this road I believe the access is simply too narrow to allow this much traffic. It is a very busy road as it is at the moment and I think further development down this road would cause an increase in traffic collisions. There would be a high risk of flooding where the proposed site will be located. There are pools located by the site and would have to be removed, this area is a very 'boggy' area and holds the habitat to many wildlife.

    JOURNAL OF THE ENGLISH PLACE-NAME SOCIETY Volume 43 (2011) ISSN 1351–3095 ______________________________________________________________ The Black Country David Horovitz (pp. 25–34) ______________________________________________________________ This article is from the Journal of the English Place-Name Society, an annual peer-reviewed journal issued free to members of the Society. The Journal welcomes contributions of articles and notes on subjects of relevance to English place-names. The English Place-Name Society (EPNS) was established in 1923 to conduct a county-by-county survey of the place-names of England. To date, the Survey has produced 90 volumes. Almost all English counties have been surveyed, at least in part, and work to complete the Survey is ongoing. The Survey is used by researchers, academics, and those interested in the origins, meaning, and significance of English place-names. The research work and the publication of the Survey are financed by the annual subscriptions of members of the Society, with the help of grants from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. Since the progress and success of the Survey depend largely upon the strength of the membership, the Society always welcomes new members, both personal and institutional. In return for the annual subscription, members receive free of charge the current issue of the Journal as well as the volume of the Survey allocated to that year’s subscription. They are entitled to order, in addition, any available volume of the Survey at a concessionary price. Associate Members pay a reduced subscription, for which they receive the Journal. Annual subscription prices (correct as of April 2017): Within the UK Outside the UK £40 (full) £45 (full)* £15 (associate) £18 (associate* *increased prices reflect increased postage cost.
