Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 7653
Received: 12/03/2019
Respondent: Mrs Judith Thomas
The local greenbelt offers significant amenity to Balsall Common and the
impact of all proposed projects should be assessed in the aggregate. To
meet housing need, green belt may need to be released but this should be
sensitive to the needs of the community and should be restricted to tightly
border proposed housing allocations.
The plan makes no justification for the release of additional green belt
land when this is not required for any planned housing development. It has
a planning horizon past 2030 and any further releases should be considered
after that date as part of subsequent planning exercise.
