Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9595
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Berkswell Parish Council
Concerned about loss of easy access to countryside from east Balsall Common currently provided by network of footpaths on Barratt's Farm, which is not possible to mitigate. Suggest creation of circular walks from Truggist Lane with improvements to difficult sections, replacement of stiles and footway linking to Station Road, designation of new circular walks east of Balsall Common, and provision of cycleway/footpath on Lavender Hall Lane linking Balsall Common and Berkswell.
Footpath M196 could be extended full length of woods northwards from Railway Inn to junction of Lavender Hall Lane/Hall Meadow Road.
Plant woodland on land r/o Sainsbury/PFS on A452.
See details in attached letter
Berkswell Parish Council considers that the issues are important and worthy of deep consideration with an honest attempt by SMBC to conduct a suitable and sufficient review of the draft plan proposals.
