Frog Lane is of particular amenity value for the local community.

Balsall Common already has a clear and long established defensible boundary in Balsall Street/Balsall Street East

At a time of huge structural change the proposed addition of almost 50% of housing stock will kill the remnants of this community.

The infrastructure plans are very sketchy and no commitment whatsoever is provided to address the very poor connectivity with the rest of the borough.

The community is taking the pain of development and should receive 100% of community infrastructure levy

Balsall Common is being asked to provide more than 25% of the build capacity for the borough with less than 5% of the population

The plan offers no specific actions to improve integration of Balsall Common within borough and regional context.

Development is withing green belt and there is no clear need for relaxation of green belt rules.

Development is disproportionate to size of settlement and to share of borough population.

Plan is supposed to avoid adding population in areas without transport infrastructure and local employment. Balsall Common is specifically identified as lacking in local services and in local employment. No plans are given for new business premises
