Development of Balsall Common village centre has not been identified as a challenge in the context of the scale of the proposed housing development. Currently the village centre is far from an conducive area to attract interesting, attractive and desired investment from commercial ventures. Instead it is a collection of convenience outlets for fleeting visits only - not for daily or extended visits. This is because the area sits on the axis of traffic flow, and with parking and feeder roads un-sighting drivers and pedestrians, it is not a nice place to stop and likely will reduce in quality.
