Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 6506

Respondent: Mrs Wendy Wilson
Flaws in the evidence base. SHELAA sites are scored incorrectly and some information is inaccurate.
Accessibility report. Balsall Common and sites 2 and 3 are given an inaccurate accessibility assessment.
Sustainability Appraisal - Assessment of Balsall Common sites and alternative sites are inaccurate.
Green Belt Assessment - Issues taken with scoring of refined parcels. Some proposed allocations are considered to have comparable scores or perform better in Green Belt terms than some suggested alterative site allocations.
Development of Balsall Common sites will occur at the same time as HS2 and Riddings Hill, putting additional strain and disruption on the settlement.
Please find attached the detailed report compiled by the BARRAGE action group in response to the Draft Local Plan.
I believe you will have received many letters of objection already which make reference to this report.
Please note that the focus of the report responds to Q15 in the DLP in that we do not believe that sites 2 and 3 should be included in the plan and would propose that serious consideration should be given to the inclusion of site 240 instead.
