Object to Kings Hill site:
Development would affect air quality - trees and open rural countryside improve air quality. Besides directly intercepting pollutants trees can also influence the formation of a secondary pullutant ozone. Should look at planting more trees not houses.
Better to remain green belt where it provides excellent drainage. Smells can be created by water and sewage treatment - these can be dealt with by natural environment.
Ancient hedges, wildlife and beauty.
Never had good services such as buses and convenient shops, but have been content with nice open aspect.

Green fields are being destroyed and whilst we need houses we also need food. Do not take good fertile farming land that we will need to feed people.

Essential green belt is preserved for future generations - area is rich in wildlife and has ancient hedgerows. Since last letter, Hilary Benn has said we will need to increase domestic crops by 20% before 2050. Also that we will need to eat locally produced food more often. Makes no sense to destroy long established working farms and fertile land.

Great importance placed on natural environment yet area most at risk south of Coventry is exactly the type of land it sets out to protect.
Kings Hill not a brown field site but highly productive agricultural land, rich in wildlife and home to ancient ponds, field boundaries, woodlands and sites of historic interest.

To allow building of majority of housing in this area will have detrimental environmental and socal impact on already overstretched community. Priority should be given to brown field sites thus protecting green field and agricultural land. Govt. stated that we must produce more of our own food so it would seem ridiculous to use available agricultural land for building.

Object to Kings Hill site:
Wainbody Wood is a protected site of natural interest. Bluebell carpeted woodland is home to badgers, foxes, crested newts, owls, woodpeckers, pipistrelle bats, blue jays and at least one pair of breeding buzzards. Habitat surrounding the wood is designated conservation area with many large, established trees fully protected with TPOs. All fields are bordered by hedges which are at least 100 years old. Most of these plants, birds and animals are unlikely to remain once development begins. This would result in serious loss of delightful local resource which has taken hundreds of years to become established.
National policy needs changing to prevent damaging such green belt land.

Strongest concern for town's setting from 1,250 houses on land between Europa Way, Gallows Hill and Myton Road - classified as Area of Restraint in 1995 local plan. Given extent of development on greenfield sites since then, this is even more important. Each of urban areas has its own identity and loss of green open space would result in single, characterless sprawl.

Development on green belt is wrong. Development needs on green belt should only be considered at the stage that all other sites have been utilised. Green belt should not be identified in advance to prevent pressure by developers to use it prematurely in preference to more costly brown field sites.
Use of green belt at Kings Hill especially controversial because:
The gap between Kenilworth and Coventry is very small
Roads already congested by traffic to University which continues to expand and new road to connect A46 to serve development and University would also eat into green belt.

King's Hill provides an essential green space between Coventry and Kenilworth. Development will :
Destroy an area rich in historical, ecological and bio-diversity.
Remove a vital amenity for walkers riders, cyclists joggers etc.
Destroy rich, productive agricultural land.
Raises strong objection to the inadequacies of the WDC biodiversity report which fails to give any reference to the endangered and protected species which inhabit the Kings Hill area. - The respondent has provided their own additional research to record biodiversity in the area.

A policy on the natural environment is strongly supported, where it does not reiterate existing RSS and PPS9 policies and principles. It is strongly recommended that this policy area (potentially in combination with the Historic Environment, Open Space and Culture issues) provides contextual background that evidences the designation principles behind the allocation of the Areas of Restraint. It is suggested that these areas be justified through the production of a SPD relating to these assets. These assets should not just include the areas currently identified but those that are important to maintain, restore and enhance the natural/historic and cultural environment plus important assets that enable ecological networks and connectivity throughout the District and neighbouring authorities. This is supported through the Sustainability Appraisals and furthers the potential inclusions in the RSS Phase 3 review. It is suggested that this can be achieved in a relatively short period (for ecology and geology) as the data necessary for this modelling is already in existence.

It iis suggested that the following comments are included:
Para 17.2: "The Habitat Regulations and PPS 9 remind us that important biodiversity exists outside statutory and non-statutory sites and that its survival requires the ability to move throughout the landscape to enable genetic exchange and be adaptable to climate change."
Para 17.5: It is recommended that Local Sites (through the Wildlife Sites Partnership and the Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group), Habitat Biodiversity Audit, Local Biodiversity Action Plan (not strategy) and Warwickshire Biological Record Centre (WBRC) data sets are added and/or amended to the evidence base. The WBRC should be added in response to the Sustainability Appraisal as this report suggests monitoring impacts on species. The monitoring of planning impact on habitats, sites and EU protected species can be achieved through the WCC and the WBRC as an extension to the existing service level agreement.

Strongly support the production of a Supplementary Planning Document and as connectivity and networks need to be included would suggest that this is carried out at a sub-regional level to fulfil WCC Biodiversity Strategy objectives. The reasons to support this approach have been outlined in the response to Para 17 (page 75) above.

PROPOSED KINGS HILL DEVELOPMENT SITE
The policies regarding green belt have been this year agreed jointly by Warwick, Coventry, Rugby and Nuneaton and Bedworth and can be referred to initially in "Coventry Green Belt Review - Annex 1 and 2 - published in January 2009." Development of Kings Hill is adverse in every way specifically and is against the spirit of these policies. This site cannot be put forward as an exceptional need.
We have found that the report by SSR seriously flawed and inaccurate in several areas in the region it addresses and gives serious concern as to its use as a key basis for Warwick, Coventry and Rugby's core strategies.
With respect to Kings Hill it did excluded Wainsbody Wood as an ancient and preserved woodland from its plan. It is also a registered wildlife habitat.
