The phasing of any development in Balsall Common must recognise the impact and disruption of HS2.

Please find attached electronic copy of my letter of objection to the Draft Local Plan.
I should like to protect the Berkswell Windmill a Grade Two Star Listed Building, for generations to come. There are 14 PDL - brownfield sites within the village of Balsall Common that should be considered . The Greenbelt countryside needs to be protected for residents and visitors. It provides important habitat for rare wildlife. Eg Site 3 is home to protected Great Credted Newts, Red Kites, Barn Owls, bats and also Tawny Owls, Little Owls, frogs, toads, hedgehogs, badgers and Swallows.
Please note that Site 3 regularly floods on an annual basis, frequently more than twice a year ;So is unsuitable for housing.
Please see attached photograph and attached letter of objection.
