No problem with the policy but the plan does not adhere to it.
Balsall Common is within the Green Belt and situated within the Meriden Gap. To the east this is at its narrowest between Solihull and Coventry. A lot of this will be eaten up by the HS2 corridor and proposed trunk road from A46 via Warwick University to the A452/A45. It is not appropriate to take another 57+ hectares out of the Green Belt in this gap.
The disruption caused by these major infrastructure projects should not be exacerbated by further construction work until completion of these projects
