Small sites in Balsall Common
There is clearly concern at the sheer scale of potential developments in Balsall Common.
Two relatively modest sites have been missed or ignored in the Draft Plan.
They are a triangular site in Waste lane and a site off Kenilworth Road adjacent to Dengate Drive.
Both sites are of the order of four(4) acres. These could attract smaller builders with whom negotiations for specialised dwellings could be undertaken – namely for first-time buyers in the village; as well as some social/shared ownership dwellings could be provided. Both of these items were considered desirable in the Balsall Common Village Plan which was published ten years ago.
There is reason to have the support of CPRE.
