Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1066

Received: 13/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Kevin Thomas

Representation Summary:

I welcome the sequential approach to site selection set out in paragraph 96 but note that this has not been followed in the case of Balsall Common. Proposals contain no brownfield sites (of which there are many around the village) and do not provide any form of explanation as to why they have been excluded.
Either the council should fully follow the NPPF and its stated policy or specifically provide reasons as to why Balsall Common is to be treated as an exception.
