Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8729

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Andrea Baker

Representation Summary:

This is actually a prime site for rebuilding three purpose-built schools. A nursery and infant school, and then a junior/secondary campus. With proper traffic flow management and access to each, traffic congestion could be drastically reduced, and would comfortably still form the hard boundaries outlined here. Traffic roundabouts could be installed at the junctions with Balsall Street to manage the traffic properly. The existing sites could be sold and the combined sites would allow slightly more houses (over 140) than this site would allow. It would also allow for them to be built before HS2 is completed.
