I disagree. I do not know how many new homes are required. However, releasing Green Belt at this time, when the report itself says that the number assumed for windfall sites is "cautious" is wrong. The allocation of 1150 in Green Belt in Balsall Common is also premature when the planning department officials admit they have not looked for any Brown field or heavily developed Green field sites in the village. Several such sites were identified in the Sites for Consideration exhibition on 20/08/16 but these have been ignored.
