Observations as to why one of the larger amber sites should not have been
preferred before land at Grange Farm
We consider that the Grange Farm site should have been, or should be, categorised as a Green site. At the very least it outperforms the Golden End Farm site and so should rank higher than this in the Council's assessment.

We are firmly of the view that the Grange Farm, Balsall Common site should be allocated for development and that the available technical evidence demonstrates that this is the case.
We take no issue with the Council's over-arching strategy of seeking to focus growth, first and foremost, on land beyond the Green Belt.
We also take no issue with the Council's acknowledgement that of the Growth Options commented on previously, Option A (High Frequency Public Transport Corridors and Hubs) - including around Balsall Common), offers considerable potential to deliver sustainable growth
