Respondent: Inland Waterways Association (IWA)

IWA was and remains opposed to the West Midlands Interchange which will have damaging impacts on the environment and users of the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal and the setting of its Conservation Area. However, IWA recognises that now the plans have been approved by Government, SSDC has little option but to remove the development zones from the Green Belt, but we support retaining in the Green Belt the land specified for Green Infrastructure provision adjacent to the Canal Conservation Area and the country park to the south of Vicarage Road.
