Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 1348
Received: 15/02/2017
Respondent: Mr Michael Fairbrother
The disproportionate allocation of Solihull's housing needs to Balsall Common does NOT meet the objectives of the vision as outlined for the residents of Balsall Common. It is therefore basically unfair as the village has had far more than its fair share of housing development over the last 20 years. The natural environment which we enjoy today is neither being protected or enhanced - it is being systematically destroyed. Rather than graft more housing onto an already overloaded infrastructure which is totally unsustainable the logical approach would be to create a completely new "town" elsewhere in the borough.
