To look to maintaining town centres is necessary but beware the big city syndrome of replacing buildings of historical significance with modern glass structures and shopping malls. Birmingham is dominating some of the housing development and my experience of overspill areas it will ruin Solihull and its community.
If housing of the magnitude proposed comes to Balsall Common our village centre needs to be fit for purpose but we have no mention in P2, probably because it is accepted that it has been made difficult by recent housing in the centre. The infrastructure will be overwhelmed by development.
