Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 10164
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Mrs Jennifer K Darby
Three brownfield sites in Balsall Common were suggested as alternatives to site 2 and 3 in the last consultation. However instead of developing these sites instead of
the greenfield sites, they are to be developed in addition. Village of circa 3900 homes is now expected to grow by a further 1755. Other settlements within the borough are seeing a big reduction in the proposed housing numbers (South Shirley and Dickins Heath) and Dorridge has not been allocated any housing sites at all. This does not seem to be a fair distribution. Development of Site 3 would create the narrowest gap between settlements despite support for protecting the Meriden Gap.
Please find attached my objection to the allocation of Site 3, Windmill Lane, Balsall Common for consideration
