This proposal is Ill conceived and inappropriate. The area where these proposed houses are to be built are not served well by public transport, poor road connections and are over a mile away from the Balsall common centre. All this will do is increase car use (which is in conflict with national strategy and with the West Midlands Mayors view). If it was restricted to existing brownfield footprint that would be acceptable if public transport and road quality and junctions were improved. However this proposal takes out the same size of greenbelt land again which is not sustainable or justified
1.Improve public transport. 2.Build houses on the brownfield area only.
3. Improve road quality and junctions.
