Paragraph 527. Object to the lack of certainty of the delivery of the whole length of the Balsall Common Relief Road in one. A phased approach with the Station Road to Waste Lane section completed first will lead to rat running along Hob Lane/Waste Lane/Windmill Lane and compromise highway safety.

Welcomes the proposal to build a new primary school in Balsall Common as part of the Plan. However, the phasing of primary school educational places is not consistent with the housing phasing. The educational policy does not make sufficient provision, as required by the NPPF, for primary school provision during phase 1 of the housing allocation.

Welcomes the commitment in paragraph 528 to create a village centre master plan. However, residents need more than a plan with a 60% increase in the population of Balsall Common. The centre needs to be actually improved to cope with the increased population. A minority of the centre falls within Berkswell Parish with the majority with our sister parish Balsall. Rather than repeat the case made by Balsall PC, it is requested that the Examiner notes Berkswell PCs support for the case made by Balsall PC and their proposed wording change to paragraph 528.
