Policy 2.12

2.12 The Louisa Mine Site is not visually an integral part of the village: rather it forms part of the wider periphery or backdrop to the village and in this respect it is suggested that the site is not suitable in its entirety for the development of built structures. This has significant repercussions for the viability of any reclamation works which themselves are likely to be costly. There may be the opportunity, however, to develop the westernmost part of the site for housing as tests undertaken subsequent to the Wolverhampton Study have revealed that the level of contamination in this part may not be so high as to preclude such development and after use (see Section 3).
