We welcome Policy P20. We are not familiar with the minimum play standards and do not know if a shortfall in Balsall Common has been identified. The Cubs have identified a lack of play equipment / facilities for children aged 7-11 years in Balsall Common.

The play provision strategy within the Balsall Common area is currently vague in the local plan. The proposed housing could generate over 300 additional children aged 7-11 and we would like to see some age appropriate play provision specified within the local plan.
