Site selection criteria not applied correctly as large part is higher performing within BA4 in GBA and should be priority 7 (not 5) in Step 1, unlikely allocation. Will reduce gap between Balsall Common and Burton Green/Coventry already compromised by National Grid site and line of HS2. Likely that Site 1 performs better than GBA RP51 to north-west of settlement. Would contravene purposes of green belt.
Concept masterplan
Support medium density closer to existing homes, inclusion of public green space/identification of ecological areas. However, ignores/contrary to emerging NDP as fails to locate green space between existing and new housing, proposes access from existing residential roads when not required, flood plain should not be included as green space as not accessible for much of year, and increase in site area not reflected in capacity.
Unclear why corridor adjacent HS2 excluded from masterplan as paragraph 103 indicates Barratt's Farm to be phased later in Plan period. Should be medium/high density as building to BS standards will ensure noise levels within WHO guidelines.
