Speak up for local green space

People have the chance to object to a change in the Birmingham Local Plan.

The plan reallocates to “housing action area “ (brown) the green open space beside Balsall Heath Road, and Clevedon Road to Apna Ghar. It could then be built on. This contradicts the 2015 Balsall Heath Neighbourhood Plan, as agreed by residents, which preserves this as an open space with potential for wildlife for football, play area or allotments. Anyone who wants to express a view about this aspect of the Birmingham Local Plan has until the end of Tuesday 27th August to email your comments to planningstrategy@birmingham.gov.uk

You could say how you use and value the green space beside Balsall Heath Road now, and how you think it could meet the needs of local people in the future. Give your full name and address.
