Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 482

Received: 29/01/2017

Respondent: Ms Judith Tyrrell

Representation Summary:

Agree that sustaining the attractiveness of the Borough should be a priority but building on the greenbelt wont achieve this - should be a last - not first - option. I refer particularly to the development southwest of Balsall Common where not only are you not protecting gaps between urban areas and settlements but given the highly visible nature of the Frog Lane are detracting from it i don't see how you improving the health and wellbeing if you remove playing fields and allotments. The impacts of High Speed 2 to Basal are huge - will coincide with housing developments!
