Object to proposal for 1150 houses in Balsall Common, as on Green Belt land, in ancient Forest of Arden and the Meriden Gap, is in breach of the Government's White Paper, which specifies that building on greenbelt should be avoided when other sites are available, and to Site 1 which is a farm containing footpaths, playing fields and sites of interest, the village will not cope, Station Road/Kenilworth Road already too busy, there is a lack of transport, services, amenities, schools are already full, and building is coinciding with HS2 which will turn village into a building site for years.
Sites 57, 6 and 11 in Balsall Common. You have planned to build 1150 houses, all on Green Belt land, ancient Forest of Arden and the Meriden Gap, all are protected and this is in breach of the governments white report, which specifies that building on greenbelt should be avoided when other sites are available. Balsall Common has 14 brownfield sites that were submitted and ignored by the council. Why? The above sites are farms containing footpaths, playing fields and sites of interest. Building is coinciding with HS2 and will turn the village into a building site for years.
