I agree that with the principles behind the policies to improve accessability and encouraging sustainable travel. However, these have not been applied to the proposed development in Balsall Common. The majority of residents drive to work, many being commuters on the motorway network. This will not change with the proposed development. Despite access from Hall Meadow Road the volume of traffic will increase dramatically. The current train service operates twice an hour in each direction and is only used by a minority. As is the sporadic 87 bus service which operates a few hours per day. Accessibility is not addressed.
