Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7784

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Geoffrey Wheeler

Representation Summary:

Sites 142/233 Grange Farm Balsall Common are discounted. The combined capacity of these sites is 2698. Although in the Green Belt and should be protected, they are not in the Meriden Gap and therefore should not be considered as performing as highly as Barrett's Farm which is in the Meriden Gap. These sites on average are no further from the station than extreme parts of Barrett's Farm.
Along with the Trevallion Stud, these could provide support for a western bypass which would be far preferable to the one proposed.
Why are sites 76/412 Berkswell Quarry assessed for employment only?
