Respondent: Historic England- West Midlands Region

A Heritage Impact Assessment of this proposed allocation has been commissioned by the Council. This evidence will provide consideration of the site's suitability in principle and, without prejudice, an appropriate design response to satisfy national policy and legislation in relation to the historic environment and the delivery of sustainable development.
Acknowledge the merit of the SMBC Draft Concept Masterplanning exercise and how the Council considers potential future development might respond to the affected heritage assets.
Note that the Council considers there are shortcomings with the Developers Proposal and we attach limited weight to this as a potential acceptable suggestion.
