I moved into Balsall Common with my family in 1984. The plans for housing are unfair. I understand we should take our fair share of future housing but we have been allocated over 30% of the dwellings even though our village has only around 3% of the population of the Borough.
These proposals will mean that Balsall, a large village or small town with inadequate infrastructure, will balloon into an even bigger town with village-standard facilities way below what one would expect in such a densely-populated urban area.
The Arden Cross Development (site UK1) has only got plans for 500 dwellings in the plan period. The total planned for this new town is 3,000 homes. Building all 3,000 during the plan period would take a lot of pressure to build in semi-rural areas like Balsall Common.
