Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1542

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: Balsall Common Properties

Representation Summary:

The North of Balsall Common (Wootton Green) is more suitable for homes. Good access to motorways for commuting to Birmingham, can help with the shortfall of new houses that has been identified in Birmingham and enable commuters to get many different places quickly without causing delays in village. There are defensible boundaries of HS2 and existing railway line. Building houses here is logical since it is on the edge of the village, historic sites will not be impacted, there are existing businesses so makes Brownfield use of the space, and the bypass gives an urban feel.
