Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1437

Received: 15/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Andrew Burrow

Representation Summary:

I support the provision of green infrastructure and planning concepts in paragraph 224 of the draft plan. Concept master plans are critical particularly for sites in multiple ownership.

Missing from the listings of proposed infrastructure for Balsall Common includes
1. Additional parking at the Berkswell Station. Between 20 and 40 cars regularly park on Hallmeadow Road for the station every weekday.
2. Parking in central Balsall Common which is already at capacity. SMBC has the statistics.
3. Safe cycle connectivity with any employment centre
4. Parks to replace the loss of public footpaths and wildlife habitat.
