Balsall Common is the wrong location for such significant new housing development. The quantum of proposed new housing being directed to the village (19%) is wholly disproportionate, unsuitable and unsustainable. Whilst the village can accommodate some new provision, site allocation 1 makes it too much and it is unacceptable to build on the site for other valid planning reasons, not least the prejudicial effect it would have on the purposes of including land in the Green Belt, the adverse effect on the character of the countryside and the rural setting of Balsall Common and other settlements in the area.
