Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8426

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Catherine Brown

Representation Summary:

900 homes in one plot is wholly excessive for a village of this size. Why is Balsall Common having to adopt such a huge chunk of the housing needs for Solihull? This is a village and should be treated as such. Brownfield sites need to be used. It is not fair to solve Solihull's housing needs by taking away Balsall common's green space and character as a village.
