'Delivering the HS2 Growth Strategy and managing the construction impacts' - the impacts of construction needs to be assessed,managed and planned in conjunction with the housing development proposed for Balsall Common.
A 55% increase isn't really 'significant new development on the edge' is it? It constitutes a transformational change.
