Representation ID: 1406

Received: 15/02/2017

Respondent: Dr Christine West

Representation Summary:

Paragraphs 73, 74, 75 do not seem to have been considered for Balsall Common. Increasing the village size as proposed will weaken the integrity of the community, losing the village spirit, the healthier lifestyles mentioned will not happen with the hugely increased number of cars, especially from Site 1, recent research shows clearly the damage to physical and mental welfare from traffic pollution and loss of green spaces.
Many points made in paragraph 86 will be destroyed in Balsall Common, by using Green Belt land there will be loss of fields, trees and open countryside.
