Object to housing sites in Balsall Common on Green Belt grounds as proposals contravene the latest Government White Paper directive that green belt land should only be used in exceptional circumstances and where there is no alternative, in that there are 14 brownfield sites in and around Balsall Common that have been ignored.
I am writing to show my strong disapproval for the planned 1150 new houses in the Balsall Common area in which I currently live. Why are you contravening the latest government White Paper directive recently published that states that green belt land should only be used in exceptional circumstances and when there is no alternative. Yet your current proposed development under consultation has proposed building on 3 green belt sites HA1, HA2 and HA3 when there have been 14 brownfield sites in and around Balsall common already submitted. Why have these sites been ignored and green belt sites given precedence
