Policy HC8 on Gypsy and traveller pitches should include a requirement to protect heritage assets.

Policy NB10 Canal Network is supported, but should distinguish between development by canals and canal related development e.g. marinas, which cannot realistically be limited to existing settlements.
NB10 supports restoration of the Hatherton Canal, but to be effective the Plan should retain the route protection policy and detailed plans of the route.
Para. 6.33 says canal conservation areas run for large distances through the District. In fact they cover the whole of the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal and the Shropshire Union Canal within the District.
