Development at Balsall Common will have a huge impact and demands a total rethink of the infrastructure of the village. Paragraph 528 of the plan pays lip-service to this for the Balsall Common village centre and does not comply with Policy P21. The LPR has been underway for 4 years and residents have a right to something more substantial.
Balsall Common medical centre services are being reduced and centralised in places difficult to access by public transport, despite the significant increase in population proposed and contrary to Policy P18.
The new primary school proposed for Barratt's Farm needs to be provided earlier in the Plan period.
Policy BC1 3 to read
“Infrastructure requirements will include:” (Ie remove “Likely”)
i. Provision of a new 2 form primary school and nursery before any major house building takes place.
