Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8059

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Andrew King

Representation Summary:

Too much Meriden Gap greenbelt being developed. I agree housing is required but not this much. Needs to be phased, and no building until HS2 is complete. Balsall Common is taking on an unreasonable about of housing compared to the rest of the borough. It's simply not fair and the village can't cope. Traffic is horrendous at the best of times so with this many extra houses and people, the village will be a constant traffic jam. Barratts Lane needs to be built in keeping with the village and it's rural setting and not let developers build however they like.
