Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 1102
Received: 14/02/2017
Respondent: Mr William Cairns
With a 30% expansion in Balsall Common there is little in the proposals that address the need for a new school, present medical facilities appear to be stretched - again not considered. A452 through traffic continues to increase and building a large development on Barretts Farm could create a rat run for cars trying to avoid the congestion. A large development exiting onto Meeting House Lane, Oxhayes Close and Barretts/Sunnyside Lanes would direct unacceptable traffic flows towards the existing residential areas and village centre. Traffic should be diverted away while still retaining walking and cycle access.
