Solihull housing plan
To Solihull Planning,
I have attended several meetings concerning the building of 1350 homes in the area of Balsall Common and have concluded that no building should take place especially at the Barratt's Farm and Windmill Lane sites as no improvement of the infrastructure is being considered.
The centre of Balsall Common, the school, surgery and the surrounding roads are already at full capacity and by adding further housing is going to make the problems even worse. It will create an area of overcrowding and therefore make the quality of life for people in the area poorer not better.
The land at Barratt's Farm and the Windmill Lane sites are in Green Belt which should not be built on until other brown field sites have been developed. Green Belt is Green Belt which means no houses or development.
The Council should explore in more detail other possible building opportunities in the Borough before attempting any further development in Balsall.
The Meriden Gap must stay without development.
