Support of Barrage Objections for Balsall Common Developments
I would like to add my support to the objections to the proposed development sites as expressed by the BARRAGE group. I fully agree with their findings and am extremely concerned, as a long time resident of Balsall Common, of the detrimental effect such developments will have to the village.

Additionally, as the site representative for the Holly Lane Allotments since their introduction, I am extremely concerned that this site, if not specifically included in the development plans at the present time, will become more vulnerable if the development at Frog Lane and Holly Lane goes ahead. They are an unique facility in the village, providing a social, emotional and healthy activity to many people. All plots are enthusiastically cared for and there has been a waiting list for an allotment since their instigation and there remains one today.

I would seek reassurance and clarity from Solihull that this site is not under threat, either now, nor will be, in the future.
