Para 226 Table of allocations-
• BC3 is not deliverable due to the heritage impact on the Berkswell Windmill, unsustainable location, protected species on the site. There is a disproportionate amount of housing located in the Balsall Common/Berkswell area.
• BL1 is unsustainable due to its proximity close to ancient woodland, would reduce the gap between Shirley and Dickens Heath.
• BL2 has no defensible boundaries and leaves a tiny gap between Monkspath and Cheswick Green. The designated public open space threatens the setting of the listed Light Hall Farm, encroaches upon housing in Blackford Road and Tanworth Lane and is prone to flooding.
• BL3 is the highest scoring land on the Green Belt Assessment Report. It provides a necessary gap between Shirley and Dickens Heath. It’s current usage offers significant carbon sequestration.

There is a disproportionate amount of growth proposed (sites BL1-3, site 11 and windfall development in Shirley). The pressure on local health services is unsustainable.
