Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

527. Balsall Common Relief Road. While supporting the proposal for a by-pass there is great concern that it will be built in such a piece meal way that it becomes merely a feeder road/rat run for the large Barratt's Farm development and cause greater congestion in the centre of Balsall Common.

528. Enhanced Centre. Aspirational but without sufficient information on its funding.

531. New Primary School. The present school cannot cope now so this is welcomed, but it must be built at the earliest stage of the Barratt's Farm development not after the houses are built.

Change suggested by respondent:

Para 527. In order to be a meaningful by-pass the Balsall Common Relief Road will be planned and constructed as a single entity not in phases.

Para 528. Delivery of the enhanced centre will be from grant funding opportunities that may be available from such as the West Midlands Combined Authority and/or from a combination of SMBC and Parish Council CIL monies.

Para 531. The building of the new 2 form entry primary school will be at the earliest stage of the Barratt's Lane development to cope with the expected population growth from the large scale housing development across Balsall Common.
