Housing is needed throughout the Borough but the sites in Balsall Common are not likely to provide housing for local families within the Parish. The majority of housing will be for wealthy and middle class families who are looking for homes in the commuter belt to the motorways, Birmingham and London. Indeed, Christchurch Properties who are selling the land at Barretts Farm have identified that there are unlikely to be bungalows for the elderly and only token low cost housing for young starter families. Greenbelt land should therefore not be used by The Parish for development purposes.
