Barratts Farm should not be included. Whilst i don't have access to accurate figures, I estimate that Barratt's Farm represents 13% of Solihull's planned 6150 dwelling increase, but Balsall Common in TOTAL encompasses just 9% of land mass. Furthermore, I believe there are approx 2,400 dwellings in Balsall Common, so Barratts Farm on its own is a 33% increase to the total settlement. I don't think that can be called managed or sustainable development, and it is at the expense of Green Belt. The negative impact on residents, wildlife and ancient woodland is huge and seemingly ignored.
