Impact on Balsall Common
The objective to conserve the qualities and characteristics of rural settlements is NOT DELIVERED by this plan:
1) These TOTALLY DISPROPORTIONATE developments will RADICALLY alter the physical size, architecture, population, demographics, road traffic, and activity levels in the village. Just one of these would be sufficient to demonstrate that the objective has not been met, but the SIX impacts on quality and characteristics make the developments indefensible.
2) The developments will actually degrade the sense of place, attractiveness, and quality of life.
Relocate the large developments to the outskirts of Solihull.
