Call for Sites 233: land NW of Balsall Common well-suited for development, if west side of village favoured for expansion, to reduce construction traffic through village. Sustainability Appraisal only has one more negative than positive effects, land moderately performing in Green Belt Assessment, and defensible green belt boundaries could be provided in form of drainage swales/bunds. Equidistant to economic assets to sites on eastern side.
Site 82: land at Kenilworth Road is suitable, yet also priority 6 and rated red. Error in commentary on SA, whilst reference to no defensible green belt boundary is inaccurate, as woodland to SW and part NW.
Site 421: Silver Tree Farm, Balsall Street also priority 6 and rated red, but could be part of larger site with Sites 233/198 and has well established field boundary to NW.
Site 422: Rose Bank, Balsall Street has Step 1 priority 5, and identified as suitable as windfall, so should be rated green/amber, not red. Existing green belt boundary not defensible, lower performing in GBA and stands inclusion as smaller site.
