Infrastructure needs to be in place before significant building occurs
Much of the housing planned will need to be phased after HS2 as the primary school site can only be developed after HS2
Secondary school capacity needs to be considered, I find it hard to believe that will not need to increase; I don't believe in limiting the secondary school catchment area to Balsall Common: children benefit from diversity at school.
Bypass allows more scope for village centre redevelopment.

Improvements in Balsall Common infrastructure. My concerns relate to how soon improvements in infrastructure will occur, as the village centre, parking and primary school are already under huge strain before any increase in population.

And following on from this I feel it's important that local residents are consulted as to what infrastructure improvements are important to them, and that consultation reaches a cross section of residents, not just those who usually engage with local government. I'd be keen to see some focus groups in the village, perhaps linked to some of our existing community activities
