  • 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.

  • BCN Moorings Leaflet
    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. It would be difficult to imagine a canal Tividale Aqueduct (Old Main Line) landscape containing more features of interest to such a wide variety of users. 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. Cuckoo Wharf (Aston Locks) Canal Transport Services (Cannock Extension) [01543 374370] Grove Colliery Basin (Cannock Extension) Fortunately British Waterways, in conjunction with local canal societies and Black Country Museum Coronation Gardens, Tipton (Old Main Line) councils, has done much in recent years to enhance the waterside, to improve NEW – Windmill End (Dudley No.2) [next to new visitor centre].
