In Balsall Common further housing development is impossible without consideration of traffic congestion and parking in centre and significantly increased parking at station to avoid dangerous parking on surrounding roads.
Public transport is poor with only two trains an hour (in one direction) and no buses in the late evening. Only a few of the surrounding towns and cities are accessible by bus or train, and towns south of the village do not have this access.
People will for the foreseeable future use the car for travel to places of work.

Places where people work will mean, for the foreseeable future, that the car will be used for travel.
