Respondent: Balsall Parish Council

Object, as a 'settlement first' approach should retain green belt boundary to south-west of Balsall Common, with Balsall Street/East a defensible boundary rather than 'cherry pick' site. Would set precedent potentially opening up land to Saracen Drive and impact on rural character of Frog Lane. Preferred use of site should be for expanded sports facilities. Site not accessible as furthest from station and village amenities. Will worsen highway congestion concerns in Balsall Street near to Holly Lane/Alder Lane hot spot and use as single carriageway by buses due to parking. Key local habitat. Medium density housing conflicts with local character.
