The policy should acknowledge and address the impact on Balsall Common. Large scale developments are already leading to the creation of a disconnected series of housing estates rather than a broader community and every attempt must be made to avoid this. Adoption of a series of smaller sites rather than the Barratts Farm large site would assist in this. The policy does not recognize that there is significant impact on green belt at Balsall Common. Specifically Meeting House Lane is a rural lane and plans must be adjusted to maintain this without significant loss of local amenity.
