Only require a by-pass in Balsall Common to gain access to proposed new houses.
The new trunk road to be built between the A46 and the A452/A45 via Warwick University should alleviate through traffic from M40 towards NEC, M42, M6 and HS2hub.
The majority of the traffic through Balsall Common is local.
Development north or north east of the village would limit future traffic build up
Bypass Impovement Lines - Balsall Common
The provision of a bypass to the east of Balsall Common will not alleviate the increased traffic to the JLR Plant at Fen End and indeed could exacerbate it along Balsall Street. The current congestion on the A452 at peak times is caused by local traffic. It was not deemed necessary in the 2013SLP and only the building of 1150+ homes may change this depending on where they are located.
A trunk road linking the A46 with the A452/A45 via Warwick University should alleviate through traffic coming from the M40 towards the NEC, M42. M6 and the HS2 hub.
A Balsall Common by-pass should not be considered until plans for this road are finalized and it should not be pursued as a "basis for new residential developments"
