Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 1038
Received: 12/02/2017
Respondent: Dr Richard Anderson
The distance to a regular bus route is nearly half a mile. This is excessive, particularly in bad weather, for the elderly or ill, and when carrying heavy bags.
However, two of the three proposed developments for Balsall Common (Barrets Farm and Windmill Lane) are so large that a large percentage of the dwellings will be OUTSIDE this criteria.
The impact of car travel demands will be huge:
*GRIDLOCK in the village centre
*peak travel commuter trains will be DANGEROUSLY FULL/INADEQUATE
*station car park OVERFLOW will double to 400 yards up the "bypass".
The developments SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED.
