Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8165

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Anya Schofield

Representation Summary:

The preparations for HS2 have affected a much wider area than originally suggested. Our day to day lives are significantly affected by the current HS2 work -specifically - frequent road closures and diversions affecting travel plans, constant heavy traffic affecting our roads and daily routine and walking paths closed and diverted. This will only worsen as HS2 work progresses. These plans centre on the area of Balsall Common most impacted by HS2. Layering onto this work to build houses and related infrastructure in this area would make our daily routine unbearable.
