Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1226

Received: 13/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Judith Thomas

Representation Summary:

Balsall Common already faces a wide range of infrastructure challenges resulting from previous development and scale of proposals can only worsen this situation. An holistic impact assessment and strategic approach to infrastructure development is required to address village centre, school and medical provision, car parking and local road system, with green spaces and buffer zones used to mitigate the impact of new development. There should be no access onto Meeting House Lane or surrounding roads as the rural nature of the lane and the junction of MHL and Kelsey Lane cannot accommodate more.
