Balsall Common originated from several hamlets and farms and benefits from the character these provide, with 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. Description in Borough Portrait as suburban cul-de-sacs with a station on the Birmingham/London rail line is not its dominant character and should not be presented in this way.
Constraints mapping should include playing pitches on the Frog Lane site and nature reserve on Riddings Hill.
