These plans will impact the current Elysian Gardens development negatively. If access to this estate will be through the existing one, it will put a strain on current infrastructure. If construction traffic is to travel through the existing estate this will cause additional wear to the roads which current residents have to pay for. It will be a sizeable inconvenience to people who live there and may cause difficulty for anyone looking to sell their property whilst this work is ongoing due to noise, dirt and traffic. Current designs for single access road to the Elysian Gardens development did not consider these plans. Balsall Common as a village is already saturated with the centre struggling to cope with the number of vehicles and people. Parking in the centre is dangerous and regularly leads to accidents. Between the busiest hours, traffic in the village comes to a standstill with queues reaching from Sainsburys on Kenilworth road down to the island in the centre and then right the way down past the traffic lights and past the Elysian Gardens development. Current residents are unable to get out of their estates due to through traffic.The existing roads can barely handle the level of traffic when at the busiest times of the day.
