You have excluded any meaningful reference to properties for older residents downsizing to buy, bungalows, yet you acknowledge that the population is ageing. 50% Affordable homes in in Balsall Common is a nonsence, basic market prices are so high that few are able to afford them, which is a shame as my chidlren would like to live in Balsall Common but it is out of reach. I understand on a present development in Balsall Common the council has relaxed the demands on the developer because there are too few takers of the affordable homes.
