Balsall Common originated from several hamlets and farms and benefits from the character these provide. There are over 20 listed cottages, farmhouses, inns, barns, some dating from the 17th century, as well as a Grade 2* windmill. These add hugely to the street character of Station Road, Meeting House Lane, Frog Lane, Balsall Street East etc. Despite your rather skewed description of Balsall Common as suburban cul-de-sacs with a station on the Birmingham/London rail line, this is not its dominant character and should not be presented in this way. Sounds as if there is nothing to regard of value.
