Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken to detail the historic and archaeological landscape context for Great Barr Park, Great Barr, Walsall. It was carried out on behalf of Mr Mike Kalam of Lapworth Architects (the Client) in response to a brief (the Brief) prepared by Mike Shaw, Walsall Council Archaeological Advisor. Great Barr Park is a Grade II registered park that surrounds Great Barr Hall, a Grade II* listed building. At present, these are on the Heritage at Risk Register maintained by English Heritage due to the poor condition and vulnerability of both. Proposals for restoration of the hall and park are currently under discussion and additionally, planning permission is being sought for areas of residential development within the park area. This report is intended to provide the necessary historic and landscape contextual information for consideration in relation to all of these proposals for the future of the parkland. It details and assesses the nature, importance, extent and significance of the heritage assets (and potential heritage assets) that could be affected by any restorative or development work in the park. A number of previous projects have been undertaken within the park area, the most extensive and comprehensive of which was the seminal work undertaken by the de Bois landscape survey group between January and August 1985. As a result, this assessment actsas a process of validation and update, with the historical context of Great Barr and the current state of the features within the landscape park evaluated and assessed to provide an analysis of the current condition of the surviving features. Finally, the assessment outlines the potential for restoration of the landscape and considers the potential impact of any development proposals that are under discussion for planning permission. It also offers some recommendations that may mitigate the impact of possible development in the park.
