Representation Summary:

The level of growth proposed in Balsall Common will require a relief road. There is insufficient evidence around its deliverability, and therefore the deliverability of the large housing allocations that rely on it. The timescales for delivery (2022-2925) appears very optimistic given it relies on a number of landowners. The Viability Study does not specifically mention the relief road, bypass or any additional infrastructure costs for Balsall Common.

Change suggested by respondent:

The Sustainability Appraisal should be exploring alternative options, including elsewhere in Balsall Common and/or other highly accessible settlements such as Hampton-in-Arden.

The allocations in Balsall Common should be revised to refer to updated, robust evidence around the infrastructure requirements and deliverability; otherwise they should be deleted.
