Respondent: Balsall Common Village Residents Association
We support the fact that Grange Farm, Balsall Common site has not been selected as it is productively farmed Green Belt land with no defensible boundaries, and if selected would have left it open to urban sprawl towards Birmingham and loss of the Meriden Gap.
We question why the triangle of land off the A452 between Park Lane and Lavender Hall Lane Balsall Common to be used by HS2 as a works compound for 6 years has not been chosen as a site, and believe this should be included.
