You have identified potential growth for Balsall Common as being South and East of the village, this directly contradicts the common sense approach of developing where existing infrastructure is located (dual carraigeway with large capacity) and where all transport routes are located (HS2 stations, motorways, Birmingham etc). The central hub, a major focus of this development, is north, so why are you proposing to develop the opposite side?
The only eastern/southern link is Berkswell station, but this will be within 30 minutes walk of any housing development so is not a concern.
