Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1071

Received: 13/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Kevin Thomas

Representation Summary:

The projected housing totals for Balsall Common are disproportionate compared to other areas in the Borough (such as Dorridge) which already possess more well developed infrastructure.

There is no reference to new build for older members of the of the community (e.g.bungalows). This should be included as it could form part of an important incentive for downsizing leading to more efficient use of existing housing stock.

More encouragement of smaller scale developments would allow them to be blended into existing communities as opposed to large estates which tend to dominate or become isolated from existing provision.
