Site selection methodology is seriously flawed. It fails to meet NPPF requirements
Green belt analysis is unsound as no 'harm' assessments undertaken prior to commitment of resources, no cumulative harm analysis of impacts on green belt/amenity/public access/recreation/health and well-being loss, including HS2. Impact on loss of Meriden Gap ignored.
No sound assessment of heritage and ecology.
Failed to give significance to the actual efficiency/capacity of public transport as demonstrated by frequency/reliability/sustainability of rail/bus services.

Investigation of a more acceptable alternative for Balsall Common By-Pass essential as unacceptable to expect residents to live with rail line/HS2/By-pass.
