IWA is content with the policy and its supporting text on the development of canal side facilities, recognition of the heritage and recreational value of canals, and safeguarding the route for restoration of the Hatherton Canal.

However, Inset Plan 54 is labelled Lichfield Hatherton Canal Protection Line and the word “Lichfield” is superfluous and should be deleted.
Also, this plan does not cover the full extent of the protected route. The previous Inset Plan 50 of the 2018 Site Allocations Document was in landscape format and included its continuation west of Four Crosses to Hatherton Junction at Calf Heath.
