I do not think that an allocation of approximately 85% to greenfield sites is justified. More effort needs to be made to identify suitable brownfield areas.
The allocation of almost 20% of the new build to Balsall Common is a disgrace and does not take into account :
- the substantial increase in housing which has already taken place
- the impact on an already overstretched infrastructure
- proximity of the proposed Barratts Lane development to HS2
- additional incursion into Meriden gap
