CMAG support the hierarchy of protection for sites important for nature conservation as is required by para 181 of NPPF; 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
Therefore, the proposed designation of Corbett Meadow as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation is fully warranted, legally compliant and sound.

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.
Therefore, the proposed designation of Corbett Meadow as an Area of High Historic Landscape Value is fully warranted, legally compliant and sound.
