Managed growth is your stated aim but for Balsall Common I see little in the proposal that takes into account the close on 30% increase in dwellings. Furthermore the intention is to use green belt land in the strategically important Meriden Gap that is the only remaining feature to the prevent the urban sprawl from Birmingham/Solihull towards Coventry. Proposals also from Coventry City Council indicate a further narrowing of the gap. You should consider brownfield and PDL sites around the settlement of Balsall Common as priority, you have chosen to ignore these, why?
