The aim of providing an enhanced centre for Balsall Common is noted. However, there are significant constraints operating to limit the extent to which the centre or its immediate environs can accommodate any more than a very modest scale of additional development. The scale of new development planned at Balsall Common is likely to give rise to new investment interest from retail operators whose requirements cannot reasonably be accommodated within or on the edge of the existing centre. Therefore relevant policies should be sufficiently flexible to enable such development to be properly assessed.
