Barretts Lane Development, Balsall Common.
1) Trains from Balsall Common are already over-crowded at rush hour. This MASSIVE AND TOTALLY DISPROPORTIONATE expansion of the village will have a huge negative affect on rail accessibility because of excessive over-crowding and will discourage rail travellers. They will opt for road transport, further adding to congestion.
2)Travel to Birmingham International would become even more difficult.
3)Siting a school at this end of the development where there is already a road pinch-point which is made significantly worse by the extensive on-road parking for the station, would result in periods of incredible congestion and danger.
1) and 2) SUBSTANTIALLY reduce the size of the development
3)Site the school at the other end of the development.
