Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6630

Received: 06/02/2019

Respondent: Mr Harry Siggs

Representation Summary:

The council does not appear to follow its own recommendations.

Balsall Common is clearly identified with existing traffic congestion issues, poor transport integration with the wider area and low local employment opportunities, all of which are supposed to be factors in considering development locations.

Adding 1500 home and around 6000 inhabitants will strain local services and add great pressure to the local road network as most residents will have to travel by car to places of work outside the village.
