Masterplan and Design ConsiderationsFowlers Playing Fields and its canal based industrial heritage provides an underutilised hub for the area, surrounded byPark Village to the south - with its strong grid character but in need of renewal - and low grade rail-side trading estatesto the east. The inward looking nature of these land uses provides much scope for positive change. Fowlers PlayingFields has the opportunity to be more intensively used with targeted new employment and residential developmentsproviding overlooking and improved safety. Improved connections from surrounding areas targeted for improvementwould further support this, as well as providing links and views to the canal, offering interpretation of the heritage of thearea and appropriate signage to nearby facilities. Trading estates to the east provide the potential for growing ParkVillage and transforming the city approach along the Cannock Road corridor.Policy Area Name Site Ref TypePolicy Park Lane / Guy Avenue Junction D 17 Local Focal PointsArea 6Fox’s Lane access to Fowlers Playing Fields D 15 Canal Focal PointsBirmingham Canal at Cannock Road D 16 Canal Focal PointsPark Lane / Cannock Road Refer to Strengthen Frontages /Masterplan EnclosurePark Village / Cannock Road Refer to Enhance / ProtectMasterplan Residential Street FrontagesBirmingham Canal Refer to Enhance Landscape toMasterplan Street / Corridor / CanalInto Fowlers Playing Fields from Park Lane, Refer to Strengthen Cross LinksBadger Drive, Prole StreetMasterplanDo you agree with the proposalsin this Character Area?Are there any other developmentproposals or designations (such as openspaces or local heritage sites) that needto be identified in this Character Area?60Options Report for the Development of the Stafford Road Corridor

The Core StrategyInfrastructure and Deliverability Study concluded that thelevel of development and growth proposed in the BlackCountry did not require large scale infrastructureimprovements, although local improvements might beneeded to support particular areas or sites.Issues Paper CommentsThis formed part of the Delivery section in the IssuesPaper, and we now feel it needs a specific policyapproach in the Options Report.Views were sought on the community’s priorities forinfrastructure delivery based on typical developercontributions (see below for further detail). Thecommunity identified the following that should beprioritised:• Transport• Open Space• Job Opportunities• Affordable HousingCommunity Facilities and Public Art were identified asless of a priority by the community.EvidenceThe Black County Infrastructure Study identifies thebroad infrastructure requirements needed to supportdevelopment in the Stafford Road Corridor. Theevidence used to inform the policy areas in this OptionsReport has identified specific requirements for this area.The main identified infrastructure requirements tosupport new development in the AAP area up to 2026include:RequirementsTransport improvements, including bus rapidtransit / enhanced bus corridor and junctionimprovementsProvision of affordable housing on newhousing developmentsThe need for additional primary schoolprovision, through extending / investing inexisting sites)Environmental Infrastructure• New open space providing a variety ofEI functions (at least 15% of housingdevelopment land, which has beenassumed in the capacity figures)• Deliver EI Projects (site specific)• Sustainable drainage systems to meet localand national standards• Open space improvements to reduceimpacts on Cannock Chase SAC(dependent on results of Impact Study)DeliveryWCC / DevelopersDevelopers /Housing AssociationsWCCWCC / DevelopersIndication of Levelof Investment NeededMajor schemes (such as highways andpublic transport improvements) are likelyto be significant.
