Part One: Spatial Strategy and Policies (Regulation 18)
Policy DLP31 Nature Conservation
Representation ID: 366
Received: 14/12/2023
Respondent: Corbett Meadow Action Group
CMAG support the hierarchy of protection for sites important for nature conservation; and also support the designation of Corbett Meadow as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation.
As noted above, the Meadow was upgraded from a SLINC (local interest) to SINC (regional significance) through a proper and fully evidenced process in October 2022 https://cmis.dudley.gov.uk/cmis5/Meetings/tabid/116/ctl/ViewMeetingPublic/mid/543/Meeting/6444/Committee/468/SelectedTab/Documents/Default.aspx and http://planningdocuments.dudley.gov.uk/AnitePublicDocs/00655832.pdf and so its protection as such is provided by the provisions of the adopted Black Country Core Strategy and Dudley Development Strategy.
However the Draft Local Plan provides the first opportunity for public & other stakeholder comment on the SINC designation; and so CMAG would wish to record here its full & strong support for such designation.
Again it is noted that the full site assessment is included in the Council’s evidence base https://www.dudley.gov.uk/media/joricypg/corbett-hospital-grounds-local-site-assessment-report-form-2022.pdf

Policy DLP60 Areas of High Historic Landscape Value (AHHLV)
Representation ID: 367
Received: 14/12/2023
Respondent: Corbett Meadow Action Group
CMAG support the designation of AHHLVs as providing necessary & appropriate protection for a key component of the Borough’s heritage and character; and in particular welcome the proposed designation of Corbett Hospital and the greenspace adjacent to it as AHHLV.
The historic interest & value of this area is comprehensively set out & referenced in “The Last Meadow” https://www.friendsofcorbettmeadow.com/_files/ugd/db9101_caa75fad87264f0083a2639462dc62a8.pdf and need not be repeated here.
However CMAG would request that the detail of the proposed boundary adjacent to the new housing built on the site of Hill House be reviewed to ensure that all potential archaeological remains are protected - see plan below:
