Respondent: Historic England- West Midlands Region

Historic England understands that a Heritage Impact Assessment of this proposed allocation has been commissioned by the local authority. This vital evidence will help the Council and interested parties in a 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.
Notwithstanding that the above evidence has not been applied, Historic England acknowledge the merit of the SMBC Draft Concept Masterplanning exercise and how the local authority considers potential future development might respond to the affected heritage assets.
