Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1444

Received: 15/02/2017

Respondent: Dr Christine West

Representation Summary:

The housing number for Balsall Common is excessive and all Borough wards should have been expected to take some housing. The overwhelming majority of residents in Balsall Common wish the village to remain as such.

Full text:

Selection criteria (Q3) have not been correctly applied in Balsall Common because all sites are in the Green Belt and the scoring for the different sites lacks clear criteria. The Borough needs to give details of brown field sites which have been rejected, and reasons for this. The selection of Barratts Farm is unmanageable.
800 houses will probably produce 1600 cars. Some access points are minor lanes and will not cope with this volume of traffic.
