Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1569

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Julie Cooper

Representation Summary:

Do not believe that the infrastructure identified for Balsall Common can be demonstrated to be sufficient given the changes to the area with the impact of HS2 and the 1150 houses identified to a village which currently has circa 7100 residents with what could be a further 3000 plus residents in the new housing, which will change the landscape of the village completely whilst the village centre can not sustain such a growth without it having a detrimental impact to the village as a whole.

I do not believe that the infrastructure identified can be demonstrated to be sufficient given the changes to the specific area that I am concerned about, namely Balsall Common given the impact of HS2 firstly and the 1150 houses identified to a village which currently has circa 7100 residents with what could be a further 3000 plus residents in the new houses being proposed will change the landscape of the village completely and the village centre can not sustain such a growth without it having a detrimental impact to the village as a whole.
