Draft Local Plan Review

Phasing of the 3 sites in Balsall Common will take place in years 1 - 5 at the same time as HS2 and Riddings Hill. This will see a strain on the settlement in terms of already overstretched infrastructure and facilities e.g. primary school. It contravenes SMBC's stated intent to "manage the growth."
The necessary infrastructure to support any significant expansion must be identified and planned for alongside any development.

Please find attached my objection to site 3 (Balsall Common) proposed for allocation in the Draft Local Plan.
This objection is in response to Q15 in the DLP and recommends the removal of site 3 from the plan and that site 240 be allocated instead.
You will note that this report is co-authored my myself, Jeanette Mcgarry and Wendy Wilson and is focused solely on site 3.
I would very much welcome the opportunity to discuss this report further with yourself, Cllr Courts and the co-authors of the report.
