ELA 1 Local Wildlife Sites

The respondent supports this allocation. However, considers it to be necessary to review the precise boundaries of site R35 Star Lane Pits, as part of this allocations process.

The present site boundaries include large areas of scrub land containing spoil heaps from the adjacent brick workings. This land, which has no ecological value, provides an opportunity for new semi natural open space and pedestrian links. The respondent's ecologist has assessed the land and confirmed that it should be excluded from site R35.

Enclosed with these representations is a plan, which illustrates the existing extent of the wildlife site and the suggested new boundary, which would allow better connectivity between the NEL 32 and SER 9b.

The plans mentioned have had to be emailed to the Council separately.
