There is no certainty over the provision of either HS2 and the Balsall Common bypass in terms of construction or completion dates. The master plan advises the bypass is a requirement there is no evidence in relation to viability, or that it can be delivered by the quantum of development proposed. This raises doubts over the certainty of a firm eastern Green Belt boundary to the site, without HS2 or the bypass, it would result in an indefensible Green Belt Boundary, which is particularly relevant as the site is highly performing Green Belt.
The Plan does not make clear whether the HS2 or West Coast Mainline will become the Green Belt Boundary.
