Comment
Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 7659
Received: 12/03/2019
Respondent: Mr Keith Tindall
While welcoming infrastructure improvements, the proposals are too vague and do not give confidence that they will be adopted and in what form. Many believe a by-pass is necessary, but the concept plan shows it to be simply an access road for the Barratts Farm development, and to be an effective by-pass through traffic must be regulated to ensure it is not permitted to still use the A452 through Balsall Common. This in turn would enable the Centre to be properly enhanced to become a destination of choice.
Infrastructure requirements should be implemented before any mass housing development takes place.
