Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 10486
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: David Wilson Homes
Agent: Barton Willmore Planning
Objection to scale of development proposed in Balsall Common:
1,700 dwellings to a single rural village appears completely disproportionate.
No discussion on how proposed new infrastructure such as school, bypass, station car park and improved public transport will be funded.
Bypass would draw trade away from the existing centre.
No capacity study carried out for the area.
Ability of the market to absorb and deliver multiple sites at any one time in a rural location should be reviewed.
Balsall Common will be acutely affected by HS2 - both in terms of the physical construction of the line and the disruption and uncertainty that this will bring; but also in terms of market desirability until such time as the line is constructed.
Site 1 in multiple ownerships adding to complexity.
We are instructed by our client, David Wilson Homes Ltd, to submit representations to the supplementary consultation on the Draft Local Plan Review in relation to their interests at their site at Tidbury Green Golf Club (known as Arden Green).
