Respondent: Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust

The present proposed policies EC1, EC10, EC11 and NB2 should be amended to make them more supportive towards the restoration project on the Hatherton Canal. Proposed policy NB10 needs to be substantially expanded to adequately carry forward the route protection policy in the previous Local Plan. That route protection is vital for the project to proceed to sustainable completion. Much work has already been done - such as the culverts formed when the M6 toll was constructed - but to deliver the benefits of work done so far, continuing the route protection is very necessary.
