The timetable for HS2 works in paragraph 525 is inconsistent with paragraph 280 and needs correcting. Given the later opening date of 2020-33, how practical is delivery of Site BC1 within the Plan period? Need assurance that no significant development on Barratt's Farm will take place until all HS2 construction throughout Balsall Common is complete. HS2 construction will also impact sites BC4, BC5, and BC6 and their phasing should allow for this.
Paragraph 525 to read “…..with the main works due for completion during the period 2029-2033 ready for the line to open at some later date still to be confirmed.”
Policy BC1 2 vi changed from “Housing shall be phased to avoid coinciding with construction of the HS2 rail line in this vicinity” to “No housing development to be started in site BC1 until all construction work on the HS2 rail line affecting this location is completed”.
Policies BC4, BC5, and BC6 should have similar amendments
