The plan needs to recognise that green belt land should only be used when absolutely necessary, and only after all brown field alternatives have been developed

The plan for Balsall Common is an invasion of our green belt environment. Earlier consultations and discussions with the local population made it clear that the residents were in favour of some development, and a number of brown field alternatives were suggested . As a result of this Solihull plan now includes those brown field sites with NO reduction in Green Belt development, a clear disregard of local democracy.
Residents have also made it clear that the infrastructure of the village centre is unsuited to an additional 1000+ homes
