Respondent: Balsall Parish Council

Support as housing on brownfield land favoured, although large proportion of site not PDL. Residents likely to require high levels of parking, .
Should consider emerging Balsall Parish NDP policies in master planning of site notably Policy NE5; mixed development with range of house types and sizes providing market accessible and affordable homes for younger age residents, opportunities for low carbon development, site contains/bounded by important natural features so existing trees and hedgerows must be protected, include at least 10% bungalows or other suitable accommodation for downsizing of mobile older residents, suitable measures to reduce aircraft noise exposure.
Concept masterplan not acceptable. Substantial loss of trees and inadequate protection. No well-defined open space/blue infrastructure, or ecological study. Estate layout of medium density not integrated with or respectful of local character.
Parish Council to provide ecological evidence and expects SMBC to take into account.
