Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1040

Received: 12/02/2017

Respondent: Dr Richard Anderson

Representation Summary:

I consider that particular policies are inadequate/incorrectly applied. I cite the three proposed massive developments in Balsall Common.

Paragraph 343 - "Strategic importance of the Meriden Gap". There is only one Gap in the Borough and with continued piecemeal "justified excuses" to erode it, will result one day in a Coventry/Solihull urban sprawl. It is strategic, it is green belt, there should be NO PLANNING PERMISSIONS GRANTED for its destruction.

P16 - The "local distinctiveness" of Balsall Common will be DESTROYED by 1350 new homes

P17 - The green belt "visual amenity" will be DESTROYED by 1350 new homes
