The applicant has not taken into account db symmetry’s proposals which are coming forward for the Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange (HNRFI) at junction 2 of the M69. This scheme is considered to be a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). It should be noted that this proposal is located within 5 miles of Nuneaton which is in the West Midlands. On this basis the Hinckley proposal is perfectly positioned to absorb a percentage of the capacity deemed to be essential at Four Ashes to service the Arc of the West Midlands. Accordingly, the scale of the West Midlands Interchange could be decreased. Paragraph 2.1 (b) states that the need for a SRFI development in this quadrant of the West Midlands has been identified since, at least, 2004. Identified by the Strategic Rail Authority 2004, the Strategic Rail Authority, West Midlands Regional Logistics Study; and successive drafts of the West Midlands Regional Spatial strategy which included conclusions of the appointed Examining Panel.

  • South Staffordshire Site Allocations Document – Issues and Options Consultation
    This report is PUBLIC [NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED] Agenda Item No: 8 Cabinet Meeting 23 April 2014 Report title South Staffordshire Site Allocations Document – Issues and Options Consultation Decision designation AMBER Cabinet member with lead Councillor Peter Bilson responsibility Economic Regeneration and Prosperity Key decision Yes In forward plan Yes Wards affected All Accountable director Tim Johnson, Education and Enterprise Originating service Planning / Community and Recreation Accountable employee(s) Michèle Ross Senior Planning Officer Tel 01902 55(4038) Email [email protected] Report to be/has been N/A considered by Recommendation(s) for action or decision: The Cabinet is recommended to: 1. Approve the following as the basis of the Council’s response to the South Staffordshire Site Allocations Document (SAD) – Issues and Options consultation: • South Staffordshire covers large areas of Green Belt land, but those parts which are of most strategic importance are located around the urban area, as they stop settlements from merging and also support urban regeneration. Therefore it is of key importance to maintain the gap between the Black Country urban area and South Staffordshire villages. Report Pages Page 1 of 15 This report is PUBLIC [NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED] • In the case of Perton, only site 3(A) should be allocated for housing up to 2028 and any safeguarded land up to 2038, as this site makes the least contribution to Green Belt purposes and will not reduce the gap between Wolverhampton and Perton. If sites 1(D), 2(C) and 5(C), which would reduce this gap, are considered for housing allocations or safeguarding, this should be designed to: minimise any reduction of the gap; include appropriate landscaped buffers to reduce impact on Wolverhampton residents; have main road access from Perton; and maintain the existing no left turn / no right turn between Wrottesley Park Road and Pattingham Road.

SUMMARY Crewe has been described as ‘perhaps the best example of a railway town’ (Crosby 1996, 117), which is a reference to the town’s post 1838 foundation and development, initially by the Grand Junction Railway Company (GJR), and later by the London and North Western Railway Company (LNWR). These organisations not only constructed the architectural fabric of the town, but were also its municipal administrators and the self appointed guardians of the population’s moral, spiritual and social development.
