Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8293

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Andrew Burrow

Representation Summary:

There is no objective justification for a bypass using traffic statistics and no rationale for the decision change since December 2013. There has been no significant change in traffic volumes. Providing a bypass will encourage commuter traffic which is currently constrained by the traffic lights at Kelsey Lane.

Schools provision looks inadequate given that Balsall Common primary school is beyond a 3-form capacity for 2 year groups.

The centre needs radical change to accommodate additional housing. There needs to be a commitment from SMBC to spend CIL money raised to improve the public realm and provide more car parking.
