Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1452

Received: 15/02/2017

Respondent: Yasmine Griffin

Representation Summary:

I do not believe Solihull Council's challenges have been met in the draft plan. If 1350 new homes are placed in Balsall Common, inequalities in housing, health and well being, and education will not be addressed; the attractiveness of the village, green belt and borough will not be sustained instead the village will no longer be a semi rural village but a soulless commuter town, our natural assets and green belt lost forever; accessibility to motorways and HS2 hub will not be sustained instead congestion will worsen dramatically. Measures should be put in place to avoid building in this area.
