1215 new houses in Balsall Common (1350 with current permissions) is wholly inappropriate due to use of greenbelt rather than available PDL sites, disproportionate level of build when compared to other borough locations with better transport links, combined with HS2 and developments planned for Coventry places unacceptable pressure on existing green belt, delivers housing in south east when employment opportunities are in North and West with an absence of reliable sustainable transport options. Smaller scale developments would blend into existing communities unlike large estates which tend to dominate or become isolated from existing provision.
