The proposed developments in Balsall Common are not in the right locations. Brownfield land should be sourced for housing rather than using green belt land. There are substantial amounts of brownfield land between Balsall Common and the motorway which would be far better sites than the 3 proposed allocations.
The proposed developments in Balsall Common are not in the right locations. I object strongly to the 800 proposed houses on Barrett's Farm. It is precious Greenbelt land which has numerous public footpaths for local residents to access the countryside. It is also a wildlife haven and the numerous ponds on the site are vital to land drainage for existing homes. I do not understand why brownfield land has not been sourced for housing. There are substantial amounts of brownfield land between Balsall Common and the motorway which would be far better sites.
