In relation to Balsall Common, I am concerned that the high volume of housing proposed will have a serious impact on this rural location, particularly on its infrastructure which is already under pressure.
Brown field land used by HS2 should be included not ignored.

In terms of site selection methodology I am pleased that its application has been applied appropriately in relation to Grange Farm resulting in it being dismissed for development, as it falls within productively farmed Green Belt and has no defensive boundary against mass development leading to urban sprawl and erosion of the Meriden Gap.
