I agree with policies for quality of place. However, this has not been addressed in the proposed sites in Balsall Common. Greenbelt land has been used over brownfield sites which is unacceptable. Key gaps between urban settlements of Balsall Common and Berkswell have not been maintained. The village will loose its identity as a village and become a small souless commuter town servicing the motorway. Residents of Balsall Common already have increased traffic and congestion, noise pollution from the airport, the proposed HS2 development to contend with. Do not place further stress on our community by siting these developments.
