  • 7.9 Impacts on Water Resources 22/10/2014
    7.9 Impacts on Water Resources 22/10/2014 Midland Metro 7.9 Impacts on Water Resources 7.9.1 Introduction This section of the ES describes the potential for impacts on water resources to occur during the construction of the scheme. This includes impacts associated with both surface and ground water. Where appropriate, mitigation measures have been developed in order to minimise the potential impact of the scheme. 7.9.2 Assessment Methodology The assessment of impacts on surface and groundwaters has been undertaken based upon existing sources of information. The following sources of information were utilised: water quality data available on the Environment Agency’s website ([16]); Groundwater Vulnerability Map, Sheet 22 (South Staffordshire & East Shropshire); relevant European Community (EC) legislation; Local Environment Agency Plan (LEAP) West Midlands – Tame ([17]) ; Sandwell UDP ([18]); Dudley UDP ([19]); planning policies and Environment Agency (EA) objectives with regard to groundwater; and designated sites of nature conservation importance (local, national and international designations). 7.9.3 Assessment Criteria Local Planning Context The Sandwell UDP states in Policy PC12 that: “in conjunction with the Environment Agency, the Council will oppose development which is likely to lead to a significantly adverse impact on groundwater resources, both in terms of protecting their quality and/or ability to use the resource”. Further, the Plan states that the Council will resist development that poses an unacceptable threat to the quality of surface and groundwaters (Policy PC9), and will ensure that adequate pollution control measures are incorporated into new developments, to reduce the risk of water pollution. Policy EP2 of the First Deposit Dudley UDP that: “proposals will not be permitted where development would harm the water quality or quantity in underground aquifers.

    FACILITIES GENERAL INFORMATION WATER POINTS he Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) is a 100 mile network of narrow Sherborne Wharf (Birmingham) [0121 456 6163] T canals situated at the very heart of the Midlands waterway system. There is, Farmers Bridge Top Lock (Birmingham & Fazeley) Holliday Wharf (just south of Gas Street Basin) arguably, no other inland waterways complex in the world which provides such Tividale Aqueduct (Netherton Tunnel Branch) vivid, sometimes breathtaking, contrasts.

Wolverhampton Top Lock Wolverhampton Lock No.15 BW Sneyd Yard (Wyrley & Essington) Unfortunately, the BCN harbours a serious burden – its image. To the uninitiated the Anglesey Bridge Marina (Anglesey Branch) [01543 454994] Longwood Junction (by Boat Club) BCN is still perceived as grimy and unpleasant, but this is simply not true. Perry Barr Top Lock Admittedly, some parts do pass through industrialised areas – but remember – that is Walsall Top Lock the reason they were built in the first place! There are many others which remain Parkhead Junction (next to pump house) Aldridge Marina (Daw End Branch) [01922 53397] amazingly rural and completely unspoilt. Nowhere is this more apparent than the Hawne Basin (Dudley No.2) delightful areas of the Northern BCN, providing many miles of tranquil, trouble-free Malthouse Stables, Tipton (Old Main Line) cruising.

We moved from the 1950’s where the challenge was to keep open and refresh the waterways which were still open after the post war and post nationalisation neglect. We have to remember that canals which we now consider the backbone of the system such as the Staffordshire and Worcestershire were under serious threat in the late 1950s. Then came the first wave of re-openings with the Stourbridge and the Stratford leading the charge with some triumphant re-openings honoured by royalty.

  • Daw End Branch & Rushall Canals and Ryecroft Railway Junction An
    Walsall Walkabout #2 (North East) Daw End Branch & Rushall Canals and Ryecroft Railway Junction An RCHS West Midlands Group Walk Saturday 9th September 2017 Overview Walsall Walkabout #2, - a (perhaps surprisingly) mostly rural walk - starts at Bell Bridge (Walstead Road) on the Rushall Canal: Bus #51 or X51 from Walsall Bus Station stand A/B to Walstead Road Bell Inn. The Wyrley & Essington Canal was incorporated in 1792 to connect Wolverhampton with Wyrley Bank and adjacent collieries. In fact, before the canal was completed the line up to Wyrley became a branch with the main line continuing to Birchills (north Walsall). Subsequently, the main line was extended from a junction less than half a mile north of Birchills basin to join the Coventry Canal at Huddlesford Junction which is to the east of Lichfield. There were a number of branches notably in the area around Wyrley and to the south of Cannock. The main line of the canal was opened in stages (from west to east) between 1794 and 1797. Despite the proximity of the Wyrley & Essington Canal and the BCN, and pressure from local businessmen, the two canals had no connections (apart from Horseleyfields Junction at the Wolverhampton end) until the two canal companies merged in 1840. Three such canals were completed between 1841 and 1847. The first (the Walsall Locks Branch) made the half-mile connection between the W&E at Birchills Wharf and the Walsall Canal close to its terminus at Walsall Wharf - this canal was included in our Walsall Walkabout #1 in 2016. The Rushall Canal, completed in 1847, was #3 in the sequence.
