Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1014

Received: 11/02/2017

Respondent: Dr Richard Anderson

Representation Summary:

I agree with maintaining strong town centres, but I am objecting because a Master Plan is required for Balsall Common to ensure balanced planning and retail services. As examples, this would:
*have prevented the over-supply of supermarkets (3) (with associated congestion) in a small village
*have limited the excessive number of estate agents in the village centre
*help ensure moire cohesive planning decisions in the village centre (eg the new Tesco store/flats - it is COMPLETELY out of character with the other buildings in the village centre in terms of style and size.
A Master Plan is required.
