Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1480

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: David Holtom

Representation Summary:

Object to proposed housing site 1 as the location just fills a small green corridor wedged between existing housing with extremely close proximity to the proposed HS2 main line. The noise from HS2 would bring nothing but misery for anyone living in this housing. A better choice would be to build any new development on the west side of the conurbation along with a new bypass to relieve the existing overcrowed main route through Balsall Common.

I disagree with the proposal for the Barrett's Green site in Balsall Common as the location just fills a small green corridor wedged between existing housing and with extremely close proximity to the proposed HS2 main line. The noise from HS2 would bring nothing but misery for anyone living in this housing. A better choice would be to build any new development on the west side of the conurbation along with a new bypass to relieve the existing overcrowed main route through Balsall Common.
