Housing

The picturesque surroundings within Balsall Common and the nearby villages form part of the Meridan Gap which serves as a green belt separating the large conurbations of Birmingham and Wolverhampton. The area is currently under pressure from housing and business developments in the surrounding urban areas.

The planned expansion of Birmingham International Airport outlines the need for construction upon the greenbelt to allow this expansion to happen.

This, combined with the increasing need for new housing to meet predicted demands, hints that large villages such as Balsall Common could be expanded to house these requirements.
