Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6770

Received: 24/02/2019

Respondent: Mr Julian Henwood

Representation Summary:

I do not believe that Balsall Common requires a by-pass. Even at peak traffic times, traffic along the Kenilworth Road continues to move at close to the speed limited of 30mph. Creating a by-pass will simply create two busy road wit no easing of traffic flow.

Balsall Common simply does not have the capacity in its village centre or its amenities to deal with the extra population which would be created by such a large development.

The parking problems at Berkswell Station can easily be addressed by the construction of a second tier of parking (as has been done at Solihull station), which would put an end to parking on Hallmeadow Road.
