Balsall Common town itself is not an attractive place, but to live in Balsall Common is attractive thanks to the surrounding countryside. Building on all available land means that the British countryside is losing to yet more ugly houses.
If you look at the town of Balsall Common itself, which is currently quite grotty, there is more opportunity for better development - above/behind shops/unnecessarily large car park by Co-op. Instead of choosing the easy option of building on greenbelt and farmland, you should use more imagination to maximise the use of the existing town.
