*Frog Lane development is a Green Field site on the Southern boundary of the village so approving planning permission will set a precedent and promote additional erosion of the green belt to the South of the village.
*The Frog Lane site directly contradicts the Balsall Common residents feedback from the local NDP Survey where 77% of residents agree Balsall Street East should be the Southern most boundary to the village.
*Development is too small to deliver value - at only 110 homes will not solve the housing shortage problems in the village and only add to the congestion challenges in the immediate vicinity of Frog Lane. The negative impact on the greenbelt and local road network significantly outweigh the value the small development will deliver for Balsall Common and SMBC.
*Proposed main entry/exit on Balsall Street East will add increased pressure on the already high local congestion and cause further disruption and pollution on Balsall Street East. There are a high volume of children walking to and from school on Balsall Street East and the increased pollution will be a direct threat to their health.
*Development is on the wrong side of the village and too far away from the railway station and shops forcing the potential residents to drive everywhere, further increasing congestion and pollution.
- Site is on the top of a hill and the highest point in the area - surrounded by open countryside and public footpaths. Approving this site for development will blight the countryside for miles around
