Relocate Light Hall school to site 13 to include some playing fields and a formal park as well as some housing. Similar to the approach proposed for Arden Academy in Knowle. Use the existing school site for residential development.
Sites also available at the Northern end of Balsall Common village.

Appreciate that the Moat Lane depot might be a sensible site on its own if it were to be relocated, but the remainder of the allocation site is comprised mainly of relatively inexpensive buildings and yards which are necessary for so many business units. The Rural East around Balsall Common, Shirley and Dickens Heath need to be part of a balanced business site portfolio. Site 17 should not be developed for housing but left for employment use as these are lacking. Any housing numbers that it might provide should be distributed to small and medium sized sites.

Danger that the initial concept of garden village will get diluted. Risk that the Council will debase any high quality design to achieve the housing numbers. The Masterplan for Arden Cross should be the subject of consultation with MADE.

Object to going east of Old Damson Lane as the soft landscape context of that edge of the area is critical in the approach to the conurbation. The bulk of the site is likely to be mainly for Land Rover or their suppliers. The Local Plan offers nothing else in term of mixed employment sites. Those submitted through the Call for Sites have been ignored.

There should be a detailed Balsall Common village centre study in conjunction with the neighbourhood plan to identify space that might help to ease both present and future congestion issues even with a bypass built.

The employment evidence base fails to recognise that small yards and storage/workshop sheds are needed by so many businesses.
