Balsall Common is a principal settlement within the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull. The land at Hob Lane, which has capacity for in the region for 275 open market and affordable homes, is located within the current green belt on the southern edge of the settlement and comprises a farm along with a registered brown field site. Following our detailed assessments and submissions to the council, the site has been identified and endorsed by the council as a suitable site for removal from the green belt and proposed as an allocation. The local plan is currently at the public examination stage and we anticipate submitting a planning application in the very near future.
