My response now remains similar to that I made for draft 1.
I feel that unless detailed planning goes into the infrastructure problem in Balsall Common then the extra houses are not appropriate.
However if we are being told that the infrastructure is being planned, public transport improved , anew school and re;ief road then I must comment on the sites.
The Brownfield sites must be taken before greenfields.
Barretts farm is a suitable site if the design, green spaces and the and concept plans are agreed.
Sites 2 and 3 as I have stated previously are about as far from the facilities of the village as they can be. They are reasonably close to the schools but they are full. I do not support these two sites.
On site 2 it is because local residents have always thought of Ba;lsall st. and Balsall St East to be the bpoundary once you extend into the green belt here then Oakes farm, Fenleigh Court land and land further north will become vulnerable. Secondly it is virgin green belt and third there does not appear to be, according to the councils comments, a suitable main entrance or a secondary entrance. The concept plan does not respect the housholders along the main road where developers initially promised a green bund or similar..
With Site 3 there are large areas where the Greater Crested newts have to be protected and other areas that you state cannot be used for housing such as close to the windmill so why bother when the site is so inaccessible.
