Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 1059
Received: 13/02/2017
Respondent: Mr Kevin Thomas
Challenge D makes no reference to managing plan impacts on Balsall Common. The proposals to increase the number of houses by over 34% will fundamentally change a village into a town. This will result in overwhelming pressure on already stretched public facilities and infrastructure (schools,medical, roads,car parking) and an outdated and crowded village centre. Neighbourhood planning processes are already dysfunctional and a holistic Balsall Common plan is required to deliver an integrated approach and avoid unacceptable damage to the existing community.
There is no recognition of need to address poorly maintained (potholed) rural road infrastructure to encourage sustainable transport (cycling).
